Knife is manufactured according to fearless product standard

Reference no: EM13519597

Allie, an adult, is injured while using a very sharp kitchen knife manufactured by Fearless Cutting to prepare a dinner. The knife is manufactured according to Fearless' product standards. There is an adequate handle for the knife, a sheath to enclose the knife, but no warning on the box, sheath, or knife itself that the knife is very sharp. Allie sues Fearless pursuant to the doctrine of strict liability, contending that the knife is a defective product. The likely result of such a lawsuit would be:

a. Fearless loses since it is deemed to be an insurer of an ultra-hazardous product which caused harm to a consumer.
b. Fearless loses since there was no warning on the product that the knife was sharp and could cut.
c. Fearless loses since the knife was a flawed product.
d. Allie loses since the product was not defective and a reasonable person should have been aware of the risk of being cut by a knife.
