IANAL

AIUI 'Strict liability' means that the consumer doesn't even need to show that any party was at fault. The bad thing happened, and the seller/whoever will be held liable even if all of their actions were perfectly reasonable.

For most torts, you have to show intent or negligence. But for strict liability torts, the outcome is enough.
