No. You need to wash them well or you could get sick.

No...washing strawberries would cause them to grow fungus, and they would not be able to sell them...this is why there have been ecoli outbreaks associated with strawberries, people neglect to wash them properly. you should store them in a cool, dry place until ready to use, and only wash them thoroughly right before use

I'm not so sure they are - strawberries absorb moisture and if they were washed, they'd mush up.
When you buy fresh strawberries, wipe them carefully and thoroughly with a damp towel.

I don't think so, but even if they are you still need to wash them before eating them.
Always wash your fruits and vegetables before you eat them.

even if the name was "already washed strawberries". i would still wash them. you can't trust some else to remove chemicals, insects and soil from your fruit.

Yes. But wash them again to be safe.

That depends, but no matter what you should always wash them before you eat them because most of them have pesticides on them that can be harmful to your health.

Yes, because if they don't they will get germs and even after you buy them wash them again before you eat them
