Rick was a popular local celebrity and an amateur athlete. Earlier this Spring, Rick had opened a new cycling shop in town, RideSoFast, which catered to professional athletes and to the general public. Rick loved testing the gear, and he always posted his opinion about how the gear functioned on his YouTube channel. Rick’s channel had recently gone viral, after he posted a recommendation about the TruSpinner, a bike with a cutting-edge technology – a magnetic suspension – that reduced friction to nearly zero, allowing the bike to ride faster and more efficiently. In his YouTube video, Rick had raved about the TruSpinner, and posted video clips of himself riding the TruSpinner on the road, on rocky terrain, and on a beach boardwalk. Moira loves cycling. Moira was so impressed with Rick’s video that she drove to his shop from a long distance and purchased the TruSpinner. After returning home, she immediately took it riding on a rocky dirt road near her house. After Moira had been riding the TruSpinner for about an hour, the bike malfunctioned. A rock became lodged in the magnetic suspension, and the front wheel stuck, causing Moira to be thrown over the handlebars. She was seriously injured, and the bike was ruined. The owner’s manual that came with the TruSpinner explicitly stated that the bike should not be ridden on rocky terrain, but gave no further explanation. This warning appeared on page 8 of the 12-page owner’s manual, in normal 12-point font, in the middle of a paragraph that also talked about required maintenance. The company that manufactured and distributed the TruSpinner bike, ProZone, was the first company in the world to develop a magnetic suspension. This technology was brand new, and the bike had sold like wildfire to professional athletes, who all wanted the zero-friction for faster race times. Moira’s crash was the first known crash. Moira has hired your firm to represent her in her personal injury lawsuit, and the supervising partner on the case has asked you to assess Moira’s potential products liability claims.
