Q 1. At the advent of the social season, Aunt Lavinia pur- chased a hula skirt in Sadie’s dress shop. The salesclerk told her, “This superior garment will do things for a person.” Aunt Lavinia’s houseguest, her niece, Florabelle, asked and obtained her aunt’s permission to wear the skirt to a masquerade ball. In the midst of the festivity, at which there was much dancing, drinking, and smoking, the long skirt brushed against a glimmering cigarette butt. Unknown to Aunt Lavinia and Florabelle, its wearer, the garment was made of a fine unwoven fiber that is highly flammable. It burst into flames, and Florabelle suffered severe burns. Aunt Lavinia notified Sadie of the accident and of Florabelle’s intention to recover from Sadie. Can Florabelle recover damages from Sadie, the proprietor of the dress shop, and Exotic Clothes, Inc., the manufacturer from which Sadie purchased the skirt? Explain.
