Honestly, Bill Can not sue Tom

Explanation:

Firstly I don't know the contractual agreement between Tom and Bill, but based on the fact that Tom informed Bill of the latest happenings as regards the umbrella,

Hence Bill is well Informed.

Now Bill tested his umbrella and they were OK, it doesn't rule out the fact and the possibility of 14 out 100 to be bad, this can be in a form of factory error.
