Strict liability enforces the companies to use appropriate care. However, the consumers have to be forced to protect themselves, too, by the use of the defence of contributory negligence. Then, the social optimal behaviour of both, the firm and the consumers is reached. As for negligence, this may induce the firm to take appropriate care.
