Warehouse-Mart is a retailer with a business model centered on low overhead and cheap prices on bulk quantities for consumers in a warehouse-type setting. Falstaff is a customer and reaches up for a large box of detergent. The detergent had been stacked incorrectly by Warehouse-Mart employees, and an entire stack falls on and injures Falstaff. In the next aisle, Harding, who is carrying a large-screen plasma television, hears the crash and is so startled that he drops the tv on his foot.
If Harding pursues a negligence claim against Warehouse-Mart on the theory that its negligence caused his foot to be broken, which of the following elements is missing?
o Intent.
o Cause in fact.
o Proximate cause.
o Special duty owed to customer.
