Ответ:
The best answer is "D"
Explanation:
Jessica will not prevail in her product liability suit under a theory of misrepresentation.
The key to recovery on the basis of misrepresentation is the plaintiff's ability to prove that he relied upon the representations that were made and for Jessica she is a little more the 200 pound mark.
Ответ:
D) not prevail in her product liability suit under a theory of misrepresentation
Explanation:
Jessica's claim can be based on negligence or breach of warranty, but not misrepresentation.
In product liability lawsuits, misrepresentation theory is used when false advertising occurs, but n this case that didn't happen.
Her claim should be based on negligence because the manufacturer knew that the swing was defective and didn't do anything to correct it. Or it can be based on breach of warranty because the salesperson expressly warrantied that the swing would resist and adult.
