Final answer:
The doctrine of Negligent Design does not state that manufacturers must produce a product free of all risks or face product liability claims.
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the doctrine of Negligent Design states that manufacturers must produce a product free of all risks or face product liability claims is False.
The doctrine of Negligent Design actually holds manufacturers responsible for designing and producing products that are reasonably safe and free from defects.
Manufacturers can be held liable if a product has a design defect that causes harm to consumers.
One counter example that illustrates this is a situation where a manufacturer produces two different car models.
One of the models is found to have defects in the brake system, while the other model shows no problems during testing.
If the manufacturer decides to proceed with the production and sale of both models, knowing the risks associated with the faulty brake system, they can be held liable for any injuries or deaths caused by brake failures in the model with known faults.
