You work for a company that manufactures electric lawn mowers. The mowers work when the user plugs an extension cord into the outlet and into the machine. In order to start the machine, the user must pull a lever and hold it while pushing a button. You believe that your mower is extremely safe. It contains several warnings about using it only on grass, that it is not to be used to shred tree branches or other wood products, and that it is not to be used without the bag attachment for catching the grass that is thrown out the back. A customer sues your company after being hurt when he used the electric lawn mower during a rainstorm. Discuss whether or not your company should have included a warning label to address use of the electric lawn mower in the rain.

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes. I believe that my company should have included a warning label to address use of the electric lawn mower in the rain.

Since the warning wasn't put there, the customers will believe it is safe to use in the rain that which was exactly what happened in this case. It is the right of the manufacturer to make sure that it's product are safe to use.
