Product or Other Liability for Internet Reseller
If a person wants to resell other--name removed--products on the internet, what liability could they face and how could this be minimized either through corporate structure or insurance?
For instance, Person X decides to sell Company--name removed--ABC Coffee Mugs on the internet by setting up a website. Their website takes the orders and when an order is received, Company ABC is notified and mails out the product. Person X just serves as a middleman. Could they be sued if the coffee mug breaks and damages person or property or other such scenarious and how can these risks be controlled?
Thank you!

Usually in products liability cases everyone in the distribution chain risks being sued if the product is somehow defective. . . but they can subrogate. . .
