Shalene Kolchek brought a Great Lakes spa from Val Porter

Shalene Kolchek brought a Great Lakes spa from Val Porter, a dealer who was selling spas at the state fair. Kolchek signed an installment contract; then Porter and Kolchek arranged for the spa to be delivered and installed for her the next day. Three months later, Kolchek left her six year old daughter, Litisha, alone in the spa. While exploring the spa’s hydromassage jets, Litiwsha stuck her index finger into one of the jet holes and was unable to remove her finger from the jet. Litisha yanked hard, injuring her finger, then panicked and screamed for help. Kolcheck was unable to remove Litisha’s finger, and the local police and rescue team were called to assist. After a three hour operation that included draining the spa, sawing out a section of the spa’s plastic molding, and slicing the jet casing, Litisha’s finger was freed. Following this procedure, the spa was no longer functional. Litisha was taken to the local emergency room, where she was told that a bone in her finger was broken in two places.1- Under which theories of product liability can Kolchek sue Porter to recover for Litisha’s injuries?2- Would privity of contract be required for Kolchek to succeed in a product liability action against Great Lakes?
