Question 1(7 marks)

Company XYZ manufactures titanium hip bone replacements. The devices were implanted into patients, mostly elderly patients, who have broken their hips during falls. Within 2 months from implantation, the patients complained of severe pain in their hip joints. This was later proven to be caused by the defective manufacturing of the devices. How would the law of tort apply in this case?
