Sam is the father of Joey, a 9-year-old boy. Joey wanted a go-kart for his birthday. A go-kart is a miniature car powered by a small internal combustion, gasoline engine. So, Sam went to “Karts-R-Us,” a retailer of go-karts, where he purchased a Model A-1 go-kart manufactured by “Kart-Co.” Karts-R-Us had purchased the A-1 from “Whole-Co,” a wholesaler, who had purchased the A-1 from “Dist-Co,” a distributor, who had purchased the A-1 from Kart-Co. Sam brought the A-1 home and gave it to Joey on his 10th birthday. Joey started the A-1’s engine and joyfully sped away down the street. Suddenly, however, the A-1 swerved to the right and ran into a tree, injuring Joey. Later investigation revealed that a bolt had been left out of the steering column; as a result, while Joey was driving the A-1, the go-kart had become impossible to steer, which led to the crash. Sam wants you to represent his son, Joey, in a products liability case against all available defendants. Appropriately title the suit, discuss all preliminary issues necessary to a successful products liability case, and then fully analyze all cause(s) of action available to Joey.
