For his Super Bowl party, Jack bought, among other things, some Francisco mustard. Even before the game began, one of Jack's guests, Fred, made himself a sandwich using that mustard. When Fred saw another guest, Tad, making a sandwich with that mustard, Fred warned him that the sandwich did not taste right and that he (Fred) didn't feel too well. Tad ate everything else on his plate, but left the sandwich. Fred became quite ill and had to go to the hospital. It was determined that the mustard had been contaminated when it was made. Jack had bought the mustard just an hour before game time from Big Store, which had purchased it from DB Distributors Ltd., which had purchased it from the manufacturer New Foods Ltd. On these facts, which of the following is true?
◦ Fred could successfully sue the distributor for negligence because the distributor delivered the case of mustard to Big Store.
◦ Tad could successfully sue Jack for negligence.
◦ Since Fred did not buy the mustard himself, he must suffer his loss (i.e., he cannot sue anyone).
◦ Fred could successfully sue the manufacturer New Foods Ltd. for negligence but could not successfully sue Big Store for negligence.
◦ Fred could successfully sue Jack for negligence because Jack bought the mustard.
