101. If the man can establish that a defect in the controls caused the accident, from whom can he recover?
The man has brought an action against the manufacturer of the headlight controls in his car, the manufacturer of his car, and the retailer who sold him the car.
A man was driving his new car along a dark road with the car's high-beam headlights on to illuminate the road. When he saw the headlights of another car appear in the distance, he reached to turn the high beams off. Instead of turning from high-beam to low-beam, the headlights on the car turned off completely. The man tried repeatedly to turn the lights on again but could not do so. He collided with the other car and suffered injuries.

A is incorrect. While the manufacturer of the car and the retailer are both liable, the manufacturer of the headlight controls is also liable under strict products liability.
B is incorrect. For the reasons explained above, while the manufacturer of the car is liable, so are the manufacturer of the headlight controls and the retailer.
C is incorrect. Again, all three defendants are liable pursuant to strict products liability.
