What are the difficulties associated with proving someone in the manufacturing chain breached a duty of care to the customer (i.e. was negligent)? Which party (buyer or seller is most protected by the negligence approach?

Which party (buyer or seller) is most protected by a strict liability approach? Explain.
3. Is strict liability fair to those people/parties in the chain of distribution? Which of the two, negligence or strict liability, do you think is the best system overall? Why?
