Ashley arranged for a week long ski vacation at an exclusive ski resort. She then visited a local merchant that specialized in ski equipment and ski wear. She sought the advice of a clerk who appeared to be quite knowledgeable about ski equipment, and purchased a new pair of skis, poles, and boots. As she was about to leave the store, she noticed an attractive ski jacket, and asked the clerk if would be suitable for the cold weather she might encounter on her vacation. The clerk suggested that it would be ideal for her ski vacation, and Ashley bought the jacket. Ashley did not use the jacket until she arrived at the ski resort, at which time she immediately went out to the slopes. Within the first hour, she noticed that her wrists had become swollen and irritated where the knitted cuffs of the jacket contacted her skin. She wore the jacket the second day, but found that after skiing for a short time, she had to return to the lodge because her wrists had again become badly irritated and had blistered. Ashley required medical treatment for the injury to her wrists, at which time the injury was determined to be a corrosive chemical that had been used to bleach the knitted cuffs of her jacket. The chemical was one that was normally used to bleach fabric. However, from the evidence, the chemical had not been removed from the material before the cloth was shipped to the manufacturer of the jacket. Neither the manufacturer nor the retailer were aware of the chemical in the cloth, and its existence could not be detected by ordinary inspection. The injury to Ashley's wrists ruined her holiday and prevented her return to work for a week following her vacation. Question Q:  Discuss the rights (if any) and liability (if any) of Ashley, the sports clothing merchant, the manufacturer of the jacket, and the manufacturer of the cloth.

Blair & Rosen, Inc. (B&R) is a brokerage firm that specializes in investment portfolios designed to meet the specific risk tolerances of its clients. A client who contacted B&R this past week has a maximum of $55,000 to invest. B&R's investment advisor decides to recommend a portfolio consisting of two investment funds: an Internet fund and a Blue Chip fund. The Internet fund has a projected annual return of 17%, while the Blue Chip fund has a projected annual return of 8%. The investment advisor requires that at most $25,000 of the client's funds should be invested in the Internet fund. B&R services include a risk rating for each investment alternative. The Internet fund, which is the more risky of the two investment alternatives, has a risk rating of 5 per thousand dollars invested. The Blue Chip fund has a risk rating of 5 per thousand dollars invested. For example, if $10,000 is invested in each of the two investment funds, B&R's risk rating for the portfolio would be 5(10) + 5(10) = 100. Finally, B&R developed a questionnaire to measure each client's risk tolerance. Based on the responses, each client is classified as a conservative, moderate, or aggressive investor. Suppose that the questionnaire results classified the current client as a moderate investor. B&R recommends that a client who is a moderate investor limit his or her portfolio to a maximum risk rating of 240.
