What is the defense associated with the crime/tort of product liability?

Comparative negligence
Misuse
Assault
Alibi

The correct answer is: Misuse

Product liability refers to the responsibility of a manufacturer or seller for any injuries or damages caused by their product. Misuse, or improper use of the product, is a common defense used in product liability cases. This means that the defendant can argue that the plaintiff did not use the product in the intended or proper manner, which contributed to their injury or damages. Options A, C, and D are not relevant defenses in a product liability case. Comparative negligence refers to the plaintiff's own negligence contributing to their injury, assault is a form of intentional harm, and an alibi is a defense used to prove one's innocence in a criminal case. Thus, they are incorrect options in this context.
