Products liability doctrine holds a manufacturer, or other party involved in selling a product, strictly liable when an article, placed into the market with knowledge that it is to be used without inspection for defects, proves to have a defect that causes a personal injury. Consumers who are injured because of a fault with a product that the consumers had no ability to protect themselves against may recover against the manufacturer under a theory of products liability.
Beulah is a city in Mercer County, North Dakota, in the United States. The population was 3,152 at the 2000 census. Beulah was founded in 1913. Because of its proximity to Hazen, a town of similar size about 10 km (5 mi) away, Beulah is rarely mentioned by itself but rather as Beulah-Hazen. Beulah is home to the Dakota Gasification Company.
