A customer purchases a cup of coffee at the take-out window of an international fast food chain.
  The restaurant makes the coffee as hot as possible, short of turning it into steam, because most people
  who get coffee at a take out window will wait before drinking it. The customer goes to a car, and puts
  the coffee between the customer's legs, so as to be able to wrench the lid off the coffee cup. This
  causes the coffee to splash onto the customer's pants, which results in third degree burns. The
  customer sues in negligence, alleging that the restaurant breached a duty of care. The restaurant might
  be able to escape liability because of the customer's
 
  A) assumption of the risk B) age
  C) contributory negligence D) comparative fault

Question 2

If a manufacturer sells a handgun that it knows has a propensity to fire when dropped on its handle,
  and that happens so that a victim is wounded, the victim most effectively could sue for
 
  A) breach of duty to warn B) assault
  C) breach of duty to inspect D) strict liability
