Hubert bought heavy-duty, sharp hedge clippers to trim the hedges in his yard. In the process of using the clippers, he severely cut his hand. He is now suing the manufacturer on the basis that the clippers are unreasonably dangerous. Can he recover? Explain
It is doubtful that Hubert will be able to recover based upon breach of warranty of merchantability, strict liability in tort, or negligence, unless there is some evidence to show that Hubert's cutting his hand was the result of some defect other than that the clippers were sharp. He would need to show that something in the design was faulty or that the instructions failed to warn of possible hazards. However, just the fact that the clippers are sharp is not a defect.
