Question: Donald Josue Jr. was rendered paraplegic as a result of a single-vehicle accident in which he was ejected from the bed of an Isuzu pickup truck. Josue sued Isuzu, the manufacturer of the truck, asserting, among other things, that Isuzu was liable for

(1) negligent failure to warn and

(2) strict liability for failure to warn.

Both claims were based on the allegation that the pickup truck was defectively designed because it did not contain a warning label informing users of the truck of the dangers associated with riding in the bed of the truck. How does negligent failure to warn differ from strict liability failure to warn? How should the court rule in this case?
