Description
This is a product-liability case based on an alleged design defect. Francis B. Force, the plenary guardian of the person and property of Mark Francis Force, an incapacitated person, appeals from a final judgment in favor of the appellees, Ford Motor Company and Mazda Motor Corporation. The judgment was rendered by the trial court upon the return of a jury verdict of no liability with respect to a strict liability count that involved an automobile seat restraint system. The seatbelt shoulder restraint on Mark Forces vehicle had purportedly failed during a violent collision. The issue presented to us concerns specifically whether under the circumstances of this case the jury should have been instructed on the consumer-expectation test, as requested by Mr. Force. Because we find that Mr. Force was entitled to have the jury consider his case of this theory, we reverse.
