Yоu аre а new аssоciate in a general practice law firm. A partner asked yоu to sit in on an initial interview with a potential client, Paul. Paul shattered his ankle when he fell from a scaffold that collapsed with him at his place of employment, Trailer Repair, Inc. (Hereinafter ATR@). TR repairs trailers of A18 wheelers@ used to haul goods over the road. At the time of his injury Paul was using the scaffold adjusted to 9 feet so he could repair the seam where the roof and side of the trailer meet (top seam). The scaffold was adjustable from 3 feet to 10 feet in 6-inch intervals by means of 4 pins. Each pin went through a hole in one of the 4 corners of the scaffold platform and a hole in one of the 4 legs. The scaffold was on wheels. To repair a top seam Paul and his coworkers would have to move the scaffold 8 times on each side of the trailer which was very inconvenient. In time Paul and his coworkers found that they could leave the scaffold wheels unlocked and Ascoot@ the scaffold down the side of the trailer shifting their weight to create a rocking motion. The scaffold carton had a conspicuous inscription in a box bordered by bold lines that said “Warning: DO NOT mount scaffold unless wheels are LOCKED.” Adjacent to the words and in the box with the words was a drawing of a stick figure losing its balance and falling from the top of a scaffold. The scaffold was manufactured by Tool Company, Inc. (Hereinafter ATool@). Tool sold the scaffold to ABC Distribution, Inc. (hereinafter “Distributor”) which buys from various manufacturers and resells to independent hardware stores. Distributor sold the scaffold to Hardware, Inc. (Hereinafter AHardware@), a local independent hardware store that sells a variety of tools including scaffolds. TR bought the scaffold from Hardware. A TR supervisor and Paul went to Hardware to buy the scaffold. The supervisor told the salesperson how TR would use the scaffold. The salesperson showed them to the scaffolds which included seven selections and pointing to two models said “either one of these scaffolds should work.” After the salesperson left, the supervisor told Paul that he was not sure the salesperson knew what he was talking about. The supervisor reviewed the specifications on each of the scaffolds before selecting one of the scaffolds the salesperson had recommended. The scaffold came in a sealed carton from Tool. Professor Witness, PhD (hereinafter AWitness@) teaches at Columbia Tech. After various tests Professor Witness was able to determine that with repeated rocking motion the pins that support the platform will back out of the holes in the scaffold legs allowing the scaffold platform to fall. Witness further opined that, “with simple technology that has been in use for centuries,” the pins could have been secured by a small device near the end of each pin for a cost of $1.50 per scaffold. Under Witness’s alternative design, the scaffold would work as it did before. All events take place in Everytown, Columbia U.S.A. Columbia has 1) adopted the UCC including U.C.C ' 2-316 Alternative C which provides that warranties Aextend to any person who may reasonably be expected to use, consume, or be affected by the goods@; 2) except for duty to warn cases, has adopted a products liability statute using the language of Restatement 2d ' 402A. The case law of Columbia follows the prevailing trends of the nation interpreting Restatement 2d ' 402A. In duty to warn cases it has adopted a negligence standard.; and 3) is a pure comparative fault state. Write a memo to the partner evaluating Paul’s case.
Apex Industriаl Tооls (“Apex”) is а nаtiоnal manufacturer of power tools. Apex designs and manufactures the “Apex BladePro 500,” a handheld rotary cutting tool marketed to contractors and home users. Apex advertises nationwide that the BladePro 500 is “engineered for maximum safety” and features a “secure lock blade guard that prevents user contact guaranteed.” Apex sells the BladePro to regional distributors, who in turn sell the product to retail hardware stores, including Western Supply Hardware in San Diego. Each BladePro is packaged with a removable blade guard, a printed instruction manual, and a warning label stating: “Always use blade guard. Serious injury may result if removed.” Prior to release, Apex engineers informed management that under prolonged high-heat cutting conditions, the blade guard locking tabs could weaken and detach. Redesigning the locking system would have delayed production and increased costs. Apex chose not to redesign the product but strengthened the warning language in the instruction manual. Additionally, during production, Apex switched from a reinforced polymer guard tab to a thinner polymer supplied by a new vendor to reduce manufacturing expenses. Derrick, a licensed contractor, visits Western Supply seeking a tool capable of cutting heavy steel pipe for a commercial renovation project. He tells the store manager that he needs a tool “strong enough for industrial pipe and safe for my crew.” The manager responds, “The BladePro is built for heavy-duty work. The safety guard makes it virtually injury-proof.” Derrick purchases one unit. Over the next week, Derrick and his employee Lila use the BladePro to cut metal piping. On several occasions, Derrick removes the blade guard briefly to make tight cuts but reattaches it before continued use. On the day of the incident, the blade guard is attached while Lila is cutting thick steel piping. During extended use, the blade guard detaches, and the spinning blade severely lacerates Lila’s hand, causing permanent nerve damage. Lila was wearing standard work gloves but not reinforced cut-resistant gloves. After the incident, investigation reveals that the thinner polymer guard tabs are more prone to failure during prolonged high-heat cutting. Apex later issues a voluntary recall of the BladePro. Internal company emails show that management was aware of the potential detachment risk before the product entered the market. Lila files suit against Apex, the distributor, and Western Supply for her physical injuries. Discuss Lila’s causes of action.
