In reply to Gert.

I think Gert is commenting just on this one case, and not manufacturer liability in general. Naturally a manufacturer should be on the hook if there's something wrong with the product they ship. But in this case, if the product is simply a whole chicken, the farmer can't be responsible if some processor further down the line leaves a bone in a "boneless wing."

Otherwise ... I could sue Ford when an F-150 runs over my dog. Or chicken.
