One of their most popular products is the "Sleep n' Go", a portable crib that folds up to the size of a briefcase when it is not in use. Unfortunately, while TinyTykes manufactures the cribs exactly according to plan, the design of the crib is flawed because the locking hinges the design calls for are not strong enough to support the weight of a baby.

TinyTykes, Inc. is a company that manufactures a line of various baby products and furniture. One of their most popular products is the "Sleep n' Go", a portable crib that folds up to the size of a briefcase when it is not in use. However, TinyTykes does not manufacture any of the component parts of the crib themselves. TinyTykes buys all of the different parts that go into the crib from other manufacturers and then assembles them into the cribs, which they sell under the TinyTykes label. Michael and Katherine, the proud parents of a baby boy, are planning to take a family trip to Bermuda and they purchase a "Sleep n' Go" to take with them. On the first night of their vacation, Michael unfolds the "Sleep n' Go" and places the baby inside.

MediCo distributes the drug to doctors and pharmacies who then sell the drug to the public. Reggie has heart trouble and goes to the local pharmacy to pick up a bottle of Plasmium. Unfortunately, MediCo has negligently filled several bottles labeled "Plasmium" with penicillin. MediCo is aware of the problem but feels that it would be cheaper to settle any lawsuits resulting from the negligence that it would be to recall the drugs. Further, the pharmacy has fielded several complaints from customers who wanted Plasmium but got penicillin instead yet, the pharmacy continues to sell the Plasmuim without inspecting it first. Reggie, who is highly allergic to penicillin, has an adverse reaction to the drug and has to be rushed to the hospital. Reggie will be able to recover against the pharmacy but not against MediCo:
