Topic 1: Strict Liability
Hypothetical
Like many people this holiday season, Bobby received an Acme hoverboard as a gift. He rode it for days, until the battery needed recharging. Anxious to get back to riding it, Bobby plugged in the hoverboard to charge and left for work. While he was away, the charging hoverboard exploded, causing a fire in his home. Fortunately, the fire department was able to put out the fire but not before his entire garage and its contents were destroyed.
Â
The hoverboard was purchased by Bobbyâs girlfriend. It was manufactured by Acme Corp., distributed by Wegway Toys and sold by Sale-Mart.
Â
Discuss what type or types of products liability claim, if any, would be applicable here. Does it matter that he did not purchase the hoverboard himself?
Â
Who are the potential defendants?
