Which of the following is NOT a basis for a products liability claim?

Negligent misrepresentation is not considered a basis for a products liability claim, as it typically pertains to providing false information that leads to a party's reliance to their detriment, rather than issues directly related to the product itself. Products liability claims primarily focus on the condition, safety, and performance of a product and whether it caused harm due to defects or deficiencies.

Negligence involves a failure to exercise reasonable care which leads to harm, making it a valid basis for products liability if a manufacturer or seller fails in their duty to ensure their product is safe. Strict products liability holds manufacturers and sellers liable for injuries caused by defects in their products, irrespective of fault or negligence. Breach of warranty refers to the failure of a product to meet the specifications promised by the seller or manufacturer, leading to liability for any resulting harm. Each of these options directly relates to the way a product is made or marketed and its subsequent safety, while negligent misrepresentation deals with misleading statements rather than the product's performance or safety.
