Wilber purchased a space heater from Delta, a retailer, to use in his garage while working on his car. Delta had purchased the space heater from a wholesaler named Sigma, who had purchased it from a distributor named Beta, who had purchased the space heater from the manufacturer, Alpha. After purchasing the space heater, and after bringing the space heater home, Wilber plugged the space heater’s electrical cord into a normal working electrical outlet in his garage. Wilber turned the space heater on and began working on his car. After a short time, Wilber smelled smoke and looked up to see that a fire had started near the space heater. Wilber retrieved a fire extinguisher and was able to put out the fire. However, while fighting the fire, Wilber’s arms and hands were burned and part of Wilber’s garage was damaged.  The investigation later revealed that one of the wires comprising the heating element had broken when heated. When the red-hot wire broke, it was ejected from the space heater, causing the fire. The investigation also revealed that the wire had broken because it had not been properly soldered at the time the space heater was made. Discuss.
