A route salesperson for Ideal Milk Company delivered a half-gallon glass jug of milk to Allen’s home. The next day, when Allen grasped the milk container by its neck to take it out of his refrigerator, it shattered in his hand and caused serious injury. Allen paid Ideal on a monthly basis for the regular delivery of milk. Ideal’s milk bottles each contained the legend “Property of Ideal—to be returned,” and the route salesman would pick up the empty bottles when he delivered milk. Can Allen recover damages from Ideal Milk Company? Why or why not?
