Whether Bacardi is guilty of strict liability in this situation depends on the specific laws and regulations in place in the jurisdiction where the incident occurred.
Strict liability is a legal principle that holds a person or company liable for damages caused by their product, regardless of whether they were negligent or not. It is often applied in cases involving dangerous or defective products, such as a bottle of rum that is prone to causing fires.
If the jurisdiction recognizes strict liability in product liability cases, and the rum bottle is found to be defective or dangerous, Bacardi may be held strictly liable for the damages caused by the incident. However, it is also possible that the restaurant or the bartender could be held liable for how the rum was used, if it can be proven that they were negligent in handling the bottle, or if there was a lack of warning or safety measures in place.
It's important to note that each jurisdiction has its own laws, regulations and specific cases, so it would require a review of the facts and the law in question to determine if Bacardi is guilty of strict liability in this situation.
