Doug is pledging at the Beta Alpha Delta $($BAD$)$ fraternity to become a member. As part of his initiation, he must eat a piece of sharp cheddar cheese that is placed on a set mousetrap. He tries to eat the cheese, but the trap slams shut on his nose, injuring him. Doug files a product liability suit against the hardware store that sold the mousetrap to the fraternity members. Which of the following, if true, would allow the hardware store to avoid liability?

None of the provided choices can help the hardware store avoid liability.

Doug was not the purchaser of the mousetrap from the hardware store.

It was an unforeseeable misuse for anyone to use a mousetrap in this way.

The store exercised reasonable care in selling the mousetrap.

Any defect in the mousetrap was caused by the manufacturer, not the hardware store.
