The seller and the manufacturer.
Explanation: In negligence the duty of care runs from the defendant(s) (e.g., a manufacturer or seller whose conduct could foreseeably harm consumers) to the injured plaintiff. The plaintiff does not owe a duty to themself, and a mere bystander generally does not owe a duty absent a special relationship or other exceptional circumstance.
