1. Bob is at the Gym riding an exercise bike. Bob wants to change the channel on the television that is mounted high on a nearby wall. He reaches for the remote control device and finds that another member has accidentally taken the remote control and left behind a cellular phone. Bob drags the exercise bike over to the television. He stands on the seat of the exercise bike in order to reach the television, but the seat post breaks and Bob falls to the floor. Bob is injured and cannot control his temper. He puts his entire 170 pounds into destroying the bike and throws it across the room against the wall, breaking off several pieces, with the handlebars landing on the running track. Half an hour later, another patron, Randy, trips over the handlebars as he is running on the track and is injured. Randy and Bob both sue the manufacturer and the Gym club under products liability for their injuries. Discuss their cases.
2. Smith purchased a kitchen counter top appliance designed to slice any type of dry food with amazing speed in a variety of settings. In the owner's manual that came with the machine it clearly warned that it should not be used on wet food. The machine itself contained a warning to read the owner's manual. Smith's 10-year-old daughter used the machine to slice some oranges. In the process, she received a severe electrical shock which caused burns to her hand. Discuss the potential legal remedies for Smith.
