Molly Weasley bought a Great Lakes spa from Mundungus, a dealer who was selling spas at the state fair.

Law

BartSMP [9]2 years ago

1) The theory of product liability under which Weasley could have sued Mundungus to recover for Ginny's injuries is strict product liability.

However, the facts do not support such a claim because the negligence of Weasley caused Ginny's injuries. How could a child of six years be left alone in a spa?

<h3>What are the theories of product liability?</h3>

The theories of product liability, which involve injury or damage caused by a defective product, include negligence, breach of contract/warranty, and strict liability.

For strict liability to be imposed on Great Lakes, Weasley must prove that the tort occurred based on Mundungus' irresponsibility.  The question is, was Mundungus responsible for caring for Ginny or her mother?

2) The Privity of contract would not be required in a product liability case against Great Lakes. Since the spa is a product of Great Lakes while Mundungus sold it to Weasley, there is no basis for Great Lakes to deny privity of contract.

<h3>What is the privity of contract?</h3>

Using privity of contract as a basis of defense means that only parties to a contract have right to sue and be sued so that they can enforce the rights and obligations arising from the contract.

3) The six requirements that Weasley must meet for action in strict product liability against Great Lakes are proving that:

  1. The spa caused Ginny to be injured and not Weasley's negligence.
  2. The spa that injured Ginny was defective.
  3. The defect of the spa caused Ginny's injury.
  4. The defect of the spa made it dangerous for Ginny.
  5. The negligence arose from Great Lakes.
  6. Great Lakes breached the contract warranty.

4) The defenses to product liability that Mundungus or Great Lakes can assert are as follows:

  1. Weasley lacks the locus standi.
  2. No duty of care was owed to Ginny by Mundungus or Great Lakes.
  3. Weasley misused the spa through her negligence.
  4. Weasley must know the riskiness of abandoning Ginny in the spa.

Thus, none of the theories of product liability supports Weasley's case.
