Answer 1

The correct answer is the option A: Bob can sue both Alice's Aspirin Inc. and Dahl's because he suffered personal injury due to the defective product.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, the situation that later caused Bob to be injured could have been worse in the case that he may not have gone to the doctor and that is why that he did not just suffered and injury but he also may have had more serious problems or even a situation that could have changed his life forever so therefore that he is able to sue both the store and the company because of the situation that happen to him because of them. In advance, the court will later determinate how much compensation and how the case will go on, but initially he can sue both because of the unpleasent situation that they make him live.
