• Evaluate the widow’s argument. Remember to discuss each element of the law.
• Include what you think will happen. 

Part II: Review the following hypothetical

• Pharma, Inc. manufactures herbal supplements. It created an herbal supplement called XLT to increase weight loss. Pharma complied with all FDA regulations. In addition, Dr. Mitchell, a Pharma researcher, conducted a 6-month study of XLT. Dr. Mitchell’s report stated that there were no side effects. Bob bought XLT directly from Pharma’s website. He took double the recommended dosage for one week because he needed to lose weight fast; he had a 10-year high school reunion coming up. At the end of the week, Bob was hospitalized for abdominal pain. The hospital discovered that the XLT pills in Bob’s possession contained a small amount of rat poison. Bob suffered injury from the poisoning, but eventually recovered. Pharma investigated the claim and discovered that one batch of XLT was contaminated when Dr. Mitchell accidentally dropped rat poison into the process, and the inspector did not test that particular batch. Industry standards do not require inspections of every batch, only random inspections. This is the only instance of poisoning from the affected XLT batch. Bob sues Pharma for Product Liability based on Strict Liability.
