Paint Inc. produces a line of can spray paints. During the past 24 months, numerous individuals have been harmed when cans of spray paint exploded during use. Two harmed users, Megan and Marcella, join as plaintiffs to sue Paint Inc. in federal court. Megan's claim or theory is that Paint designed a defective spray can mechanism. Marcella relies on the allegation that Paint employees misassembled the can. A few months into the case, Megan served two discovery requests. Initially, she sends interrogatories to Marcella, asking her to disclose any data that she has that might show a problem with the production of the can. Marcella objects to the relevance of the questions. Next, Megan notices the deposition of Hans, who is another victim of an exploding paint can. Hans has started his own lawsuit in state court alleging that the can causing him injury was mishandled by a transportation company. In the deposition, Megan asks Hans to disclose any information about issues involving transportation of the paint cans. Hans objects to the relevance of the questions. Can Megan obtain the data she seeks from Hans and Marcella? Fully justify your answer.
