MPA 670 WK6 DISCUSSION – Political Action Committee

    The Political Action Committee for Better Government (Committee) rented several helium tanks (Tanks) from Vendors Supply, Inc. (Vendors).  The tanks were to fill balloons that the Committee was going to hand out at the Bliss County Fair as part of the Committee’s ongoing efforts to promote the virtues of its programs.  Although the rental contract required the Committee to return the used tanks when finished, the tanks were left at the fairgrounds leaning up against the Committee’s booth.

    Arnie Activist, aged 14, attended a concert at the fairgrounds with some friends, where he and his friends discovered the tanks.  Despite the warnings printed on the Tanks, which stated:

    CAUTION – HELIUM GAS – CAN CAUSE SUFFOCATION IF INHALED

    Arnie inhaled gas from one of the tanks, collapsed, and died. Arnie’s father sued Vendors.

    Why will Arnie’s father win—or lose—his suit against Vendors?  Be sure to support your conclusion using an IRAC analysis of the applicable laws.
