The Sampson Hair Products company is sued by a user who contracted a painful rash from using their shampoo. If Sampson manufactured the product in the same way and to the same standard as a reasonable shampoo manufacturer, and the rash was simply the result of an unusual allergy, Sampson will not be held liable.
