Strict product liability holds manufacturers and sellers responsible for any harmful or defective products they produce or distribute. If a court finds that a well-known fast food chain is using a potentially harmful chemical in their French fries, they would be held strictly liable for any harm caused to consumers and would likely be required to disclose information on their process to customers. Patent infringement, statutory law, and trademark law are not directly relevant to this scenario.
