Product seller liability extends to sellers who controlled design, made independent warranties, altered goods, or failed to pass warnings. A product seller who is not the manufacturer can be liable where the seller exercised substantial control over design, testing, manufacturing, packaging or labelling; altered the product and that alteration substantially caused harm; made an independent express warranty that the product failed to meet causing harm; sold a product when the manufacturer is unknown or cannot be served or enforced; or failed to exercise reasonable care in assembly, inspection or maintenance or failed to pass on manufacturer warnings or instructions, and such failure was the proximate cause of the harm.
