A week later, the climber fell from a rock face when a safety device he had purchased from the retailer malfunctioned because of a defect in its manufacture. Thereafter, a paramedic was severely injured when he tried to reach and give assistance to the climber on the ledge to which the climber had fallen. The paramedic's injury was not caused by any fault on his own part. This jurisdiction does not recognize the firefighter's rule in products liability actions. If the paramedic brings an action against the retailer to recover damages for his injuries, will the paramedic prevail? A. No, because the paramedic did not rely on the representation of safety implied from the sale of the safety device by the retailer. B. No, unless the retailer could have discovered the defect by a reasonable inspection of the safety device. C. Yes, because injury to a person in the paramedic's position was foreseeable if the safety device failed. D. Yes, unless the climber was negligent in failing to test the safety device. Submit
