Donoghue v Stevenson (1932) - A Classic Case of Vicarious Liability

In 1932, the landmark case of Donoghue v Stevenson shook the principles of law in England. Lady Donoghue was served a bottle of ginger beer by a cafe owner, Stevenson, which contained a decomposed snail. She suffered gastroenteritis and sued Stevenson for negligence. The court held that a manufacturer has a duty of care towards the consumers, even if the consumer isn't their direct customer.

So, what's the community's take on this? Agree or disagree that companies should be held liable for their products, even when they're not directly involved? In India, we've got cases like M. P. Sharma v. Satish Chandra, where courts have taken a similar stance on vicarious liability. But does this go too far? Shouldn't consumers be more responsible for what they put in their bodies?
