Answer: Your customer will likely blame you for the defect, not the supplier.

Explanation:

The customer would certainly blame me the seller for the defect, because I was the one that sold the goods to the customer, also the customer is not aware of what transpired between the seller and the supplier. Therefore the seller would have to on his part, lay some complaint to the supplier.
