Case study #8
Caswell bought a gas grill to give to his friend, Kile, as a birthday present. The grill exploded the first time it was used due to a factory defect, and Kile was injured. The manufacturer of the grill argued that it was not responsible for Kile’s injuries because Kile had not purchased the grill. There was not privity of contract between Kile and the manufacturer.
 
How would you decide? Explain.
 
When one receives a gift, the ownership is transferred from the donor to the receiver upon transfer if the item. Under consumer protection laws, if a manufactrurer’s product is defective and hence causes injuries to the owner, the manufacturer should be held accountable. Kile might not have bought it from the manufacturer but since the item was donated to Kile, he can sue so long as is in position to proof that the item was donated by Caswell. And in any case, when there’s a factory defect the manufacturer should be held liable for damages to the consumer.
