Answer to Question 1

No, she cannot use strict liability theory because she is not a seller as defined by that theory. A seller is a person who is engaged in the business of selling the product for use or consumption. Even though that definition is very broad, it does not include the occasional seller of a product, like Fred, who is not in the business of selling the product.

Answer to Question 2

A
