Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soda Bubbles Corporation, as the manufacturer, is in a better position to bear the cost of injuries caused by its defective products, often through insurance, spreading the cost over many products. This principle underlies strict liability in product liability cases, where manufacturers are held liable for harm caused by defective products regardless of fault.
