Hi, I really need help answering this question please!

Henry and Louisa own and run an organic food and cosmetic centre called 'Essence of Organic Life Within Guildford'. The couple sell both organic food and cosmetics upon their premises. In addition to the products produced on site, Henry and Louisa use the services of Amanda, who produces a wide range of natural ingredients cosmetic products.

Three weeks ago, the business launched a new range of organic cosmetic beauty products. Both Henry and Louisa called upon the services of Amanda who produced the 'All Organic Deep Cleanse Cleaner' and the 'Anti-Wrinkle Life Cream' products, all of which were immediately placed on sale to the public. Last week, Maria went to 'Essence of Organic Life Within Guildford' and purchased a bottle of 'All Organic Deep Cleanse Cleaner' and the 'Anti-Wrinkle Life Cream'. Maria, give the purchased 'Anti-Wrinkle Life Cream' to her best friend Sandra as a birthday present. Later that week, having fully read the application requirements for the 'All Organic Deep Cleanse Cleaner', Maria applied the solution to her legs. Shortly after the application, Maria felt an immediate burning sensation and noticed that both legs exhibited a large number of very painful red blotches.

Following a visit to the local hospital, Maria was provided a full medical and toxicology report surrounding her injury, which evidenced that the 'All Organic Deep Cleanse Cleaner' contained a form of acidic toxic content, which if applied to the skin would cause immediate burning and discomfort. Unfortunately, in the same week, Maria received an email from Sandra who also suffered acute skin burns when using the 'Anti-Wrinkle Life Cream'. Both Maria and Sandra have made a full recovery and has instructed legal proceedings against 'Essence of Organic Life Within Guildford'.

Henry and Louisa are now seeking assistance from GCBAS, as they need to know what their legal position is and what liabilities may arise in these circumstances.
