Question

You're a lawyer with an unusual case. A whipped cream can burst at a wedding, damaging the groom's expensive tuxedo. The can warned against temperatures in excess of 50 degrees celcius, and the manufacturer has evidence that it reached 60 degrees celcius. You don't contest this, but you point out that the can was only half full when it burst, meaning that the gas propellant had more than twice the volume it would use in a full can, and that some of the propellant had already been used. You argue that the real safety criterion is pressure, and that the can's maximum pressure wasn't exceeded. Who's right?

Explanation / Answer

in this case both the manufacturer and the groom's family are guilty
