Question

Wilma locked herself in the trunk of a 1973 sedan in an attempt to learn a magic trick. After some time, she decided to get out of the trunk, but was unable to do so. She was released nine days later. She subsequently sued the manufacturer of the sedan for the psychological and physical injuries she sustained because the trunk did not have an internal release or opening mechanism that would have allowed her to escape. She alleged that the manufacturer was negligent in its design of the car because it lacked such a mechanism, and negligent because it failed to warn users that the trunk did not have such a mechanism. In this scenario, was the manufacturer of the sedan negligent for failing to warn, or failing to include a release mechanism in its design of the car?

A Thumbs Up! Would be really helpful for me. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

After reading this article, my perspective is that manufacturer of car is not failing to include a release mechanism in its the design of car because basically a car is not manufactured for magic tricks, another is that in the user guide the mechanism of trunk clearly specified and the trunk is made for storing the backpacks and other material to easy carry but here Wilma locked herself in the sedan's trunk than it is her mistake because car and cars are not manufactured for magic tricks and if you want to do in your then you should make these type of changes.

The allegation of Wilma on manufacturer was negligent because the manufacturer is already classified their car features and mechanism in their user guide and trunk are used for magic tricks, trunks are only for material or luggage transport and if Wilma was doing any type of magic tricks in her car trunk then she should be checked the mechanism first and do a trial that helps as a precaution or do under an expert or anyone's conservancy. Here car manufacturer not failing to warn users that the trunk did not have such a mechanism and any car manufacturer included that feature and mechanism in their car's trunk. Every allegation of Wilma's psychological and physical damages on car manufacturer are faulty.
