The best choice is to give parties in the chain of distribution the right to indemnity, which means the right to be reimbursed for any losses or damages caused by another member of the distribution chain. This allows each party to protect themselves against potential liabilities and ensures that responsibility for defects is allocated appropriately. Placing the entire assumption of risk upon buyers (A) is not fair or reasonable, and failure to warn (B) is not a sufficient solution in itself. Invoking the statute of limitations (C) is also not a substitute for contractual indemnification.
