Ah, the dangers of letting 1L's out into the world with one semester's worth of Torts under their belt. Let's start at the beginning - consider it a prep session for your final. Why are you immediately talking as if strict liability applies? What are the requirements and how are they satisfied here?

Then, explain how the notice requirement would affect a claim made under a simple negligence theory.

We'll get to the multiple choice portion later.

This is not a "defective product". At least, not in the way you are trying to apply the concept.
