Whose responsability is it?

Under case law I dont think one blender would necessarily class you as selling for trade purposes even if that was your intention to make a profit - it might be different if it was a 50k unit.

the question is - is using it with wet hands a fault or is that just expected behaviour?

I should have made myself clearer in my original thread that I am not a trader in the slightest. I just don't like people assuming. It is my fault for letting the person assume and for me not making myself clear.

I actually bought it to sell on and make a few quid.

Buying ANYTHING, whether it be one item or 100 items, that you intend to sell on for a profit is trading, thus making you a trader/business.

By all means get your buyer to deal with the manufacturer, but it would be easier for you to give them a refund, then get a refund from the person you bought it from.

Meh.

You showed them in person the product and they accepted it. Let them deal with it. I get small electric shocks from computers all the time, doesn't stop me using them.

And I get them from Tesco shopping trolleys. Part and parcel of life.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over this.

Esculators are the worst for shocks!

Personally whether it could be classed as 'trading' or not, if its just a one-off I wouldn't be seeing me out of pocket dealing with it -- the manufacturer will sort her out.

Out of curiosity, what case law are you referring to?
