B) Weak, because there was no evidence that the product was unreasonably dangerous in normal use. C) Weak, because it would be difficult to prove with certainty that the lighter was the cause of the fire. D) Strong, because lighters are unavoidably unsafe.

Compensatory damages are awarded in order to compensate the non-breaching party for a loss resulting from the breach of the contract.

In order for a manufacturer to be liable for selling an unreasonably dangerous product, the product must be unreasonably dangerous to use by a normal average consumer. In other words, in normal use, is the product dangerous to use or not? A lighter is a common product, it is not something extremely technical that requires special training for its use. It is also of common knowledge that lighters produce fire, and fire is dangerous.

Many normal products can be extremely dangerous if used in uncommon ways, e.g. if you drink Clorox you might get poisoned, but no one should be drinking Clorox. It is common sense. The manufacturer's liability exists when the product is dangerous to use under normal circumstances, but  a small child should not be allowed to play with lighters, nor matches, nor guns, nor electric circuits, nor anything else that represents a threat to their lives.

Products are meant to be used by normal users, and small children are not supposed to smoke or use a lighter. E.g. a small child can actually drive a car, and will probably get into an accident, but they are not supposed to drive a car. So the manufacturer is not responsible for selling an unreasonable dangerous product, the parent that allowed his/her kid to drive the car is responsible.
