Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A supervening event refers to an alteration or modification made by a third party that relieves the original seller from strict liability. This is because the product is no longer in the same condition as when it was sold and the original seller could not have foreseen the changes made by the third party. Examples of supervening events include modifications made by mechanics, repair persons, or other third-party service providers.
