The answers to legal questions are almost always, "It depends." More facts are always needed than given to determine how the case might come out. I say "might come out" because you need to remember that you have a jury and a judge interpreting fact and law. And how those two play out vary by jurisdiction.
There are potential tort liabilities. Each jurisdiction has its own rules of law for that. An understanding about "proximate causation" will put you on the path to assessing your own tort liability risk.
A study of contracts in your jurisdiction is needed to assess your contract liability risk.
Every jurisdiction has its on strict and products liability laws, so you need to learn those, too.
Further compounding your issue is what jurisdiction's rule of law applies? The facts and the lawyer's skills will determine how that plays out.
So the answer to your question is, "It depends."
