Abby purchаsed а new refrigerаtоr frоm A1 Appliance. One mоnth later, Abby sold the refrigerator to Sonam, her son, who had just moved into an apartment. Days later, the thermostat in the freezer malfunctioned. Sonam contacted an independent service technician, who installed a new cooling panel. One month later, the freezer stopped working again, this time causing all the frozen food and ice to melt and damage a hardwood floor. Sonam contacted A1 Appliance, which informed Sonam that the technician had installed a cooling panel designed for an older model refrigerator. A1 Appliance then proceeded to install the proper cooling panel at no charge, and the refrigerator worked properly after that.Sonam brought a products liability action based on strict liability against A1 Appliance for the damage caused to his hardwood floor. Assume the parties stipulate to the above facts. Both parties have moved for a directed verdict.Should the court grant either of the motions?
