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.
Poolville is an unincorporated town in Parker County, Texas, United States founded by Sam Jones in 1814 along Farm Road 920, about 17 miles northwest of Weatherford, the county seat. It is home to a few hundred residents, and a school district with three campuses, a seed and feed company, a post office, a convenience store, and a storage facility. There are three churches in the town; a Methodist church, a Southern Baptist church, and a Church of Christ. The Church of Christ building is located just west of the town square, behind the seed company. Fires came through this small town because of a drought. The drought lasted for 8 months.
