Answer 1

Negligent tort is a concept of tort law that is applicable when an entity or an individual fails to act as a reasonable person for the duty promised earlier. Normally the negligent action results in monetary damages or personal injury to the consumer. The consumer can hold the producer responsible for their products when the company products do not conform to the established standards or violate the product standard. Negligence is based on the cause of action. There are five elements in negligence tort including the duty owed by the defendant, duty breach, causal action resulting in harm, proximate cause and resulting damages.
Consumer autonomy is the character and aptitude of the consumer to choose and purchase products rationally. Consumers have the power to review and reject the products based on their own research. Certain companies create customer wants, marketing practices and advertising techniques to manipulate the consumers. This infringes the customer autonomy. Consumers must not accept the products blindly based on the claims of the advertiser. In most of the cases, advertisers and marketers influence or manipulate consumers to buy their products thereby infringing on the consumer autonomy.
