Question

Yun Tung Chow tried to unclog a floor drain in the kitchen of the restaurant where he worked. He used a drain cleaner called Lewis Red Devil Lye that contained crystalline sodium hydroxide. The product label said to wear eye protection, to put one tablespoon of lye directly into the drain, and to keep one's face away from the drain because there could be dangerous backsplash. Without eye protection, Chow mixed three tablespoons of lye in a can and poured that mixture down the drain while bending over it. Liquid splashed back into his face, causing injury. He brought a product liability suit based on inadequate warnings and design defect. The trial court granted summary judgment to the manufacturer, and Chow appealed. An expert for Chow stated that the product was defective because it had a tendency to backsplash.

Why does the law impose strict product liability? To protect consumers from __________ products.

Answer 1

The correct word that fills the gap is safe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consumer protection is a means that national and international laws grant to those who buy a merchandise (natural or legal persons) or use a service, so they can claim if they feel they have been deceived or harmed by sellers or service providers, attentive to the fact that consumers, who are the final recipients of what they have acquired, for themselves, their family or friends, have become holders of a recently recognized right, being considered as such, as a third generation.
