Roberts bought a new ride-on lawn mower and allowed his son, Don, to be the first person to drive it. Due to a factory defect, the mower's gearshift stuck in reverse. Don was seriously injured when the mower backed into a ditch and tipped over. When Don sued the manufacturer for his injuries, the manufacturer argued that it was not liable because Don had not purchased the mower. Is Don likely to win his case? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Don will probably win his case under the strict liability law. The doctrine of strict liability states that the manufacturer's and seller's liability for selling unreasonably dangerous goods extends to all persons who may be injured by the goods.
