Fun Unlimited Inc. was a manufacturer of children's toys and games. For the Christmas season it produced and offered for sale through its retail distribution channels a toy clown doll. The doll was made of fabric and wore a colourful clown suit with several large, bright red buttons down the front. Mr$.$ and Mrs$.$ Johnson purchased one of the clowns as a Christmas gift for their two$-$year$-$old granddaughter. The child was delighted with the toy and played with it for many hours. About a week after Christmas, the child's mother noticed two of the buttons missing from the front of the clown suit. A thorough search of the house did not turn up the buttons. Later that day as the mother supervised the girl's play, she observed the little girl pulling a button off the clown suit and placing it in her mouth. Before she could reach the child to retrieve it$,$ the girl swallowed the button. In the next several days, the child had little appetite and showed considerable abdominal distention. When the child's mother took her to a doctor, X$-$rays showed the buttons lodged in her upper intestinal tract, blocking her entire digestive system. Immediate surgery was required to remove the buttons. The child required considerable post$-$operative care at home, resulting in substantial time lost from work for both parents.
