Facts: The appellant drank a bottle of ginger beer which was bought for her by her friend. The bottle was opaque and after she had drunk most of it she discovered it contained the remains of a decomposed snail. The appellant was unable to sue the retailer as there was no privity of contract between them. The appellant instead sought to sue the manufacturer, alleging that she had suffered shock and severe gastro-enteritis as a result. The House of Lords (by a majority of 3 to 2) held that a manufacturer was under a duty to the final purchaser or consumer to take reasonable care to ensure the article was free from any defect which would be injurious.
