E Corp sold five million toasters. The company never had a safety problem. One of its toasters, for no clear reason, electrocutes the son of the woman who bought the toaster. In her suit against E Corp for the death of her son (a tort), the company is likely to be held:
a. not liable because one in five million is evidence of high quality, not a safety problem
b. not liable because the toaster was purchased by the woman, not her son, so there is no right of suit c. not liable because of assumption of the risk
d. liable for failure to warn of dangers in use
e. liable in strict liability for producing a product with a defect that caused injury
