  • For a [manufacturer][seller] to be at fault, the alleged defect in the product must have existed at the time the [manufacturer][seller] sold it. You may, but are not required to, infer from normal, extended, and problem-free use of the product, that the product was not defective at the time of sale. You may not make this inference when the alleged defect would only appear later, or upon the happening of non-routine events.
