Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
Section 402A of the Restatement (Second) of Torts, which deals with strict liability for defective products, was indeed designed to reduce the obstacles plaintiffs face in product liability cases, such as proving negligence, by holding manufacturers and sellers liable for selling any product in a defective condition unreasonably dangerous to the user or consumer.
