Under what theory can injured persons proceed in an environmental or toxic tort claim for products liability?

  1. Negligence or strict products liability

  2. Contract breach

  3. Equity law

  4. Patent infringement

The correct answer is: Negligence or strict products liability

Negligence or strict products liability can be used as a theory in environmental or toxic tort claims for products liability. This is because these theories hold manufacturers liable for any harm caused by their products, if they are found to have acted negligently or if the product is found to be unreasonably dangerous. Contract breach, equity law, and patent infringement are not applicable in environmental or toxic tort claims as they do not involve harm caused by products. Contract breach only applies when there is a violation of a contractual agreement, while equity law primarily deals with issues of justice and fairness. Patent infringement involves the unauthorized use of a patented invention, which is not relevant to environmental or toxic tort claims.
