SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., INC. v. HAVEN HILLS FARM, INC.

79-438.

395 So.2d 991 (1981)

SEARS, ROEBUCK & COMPANY, INC. v. HAVEN HILLS FARM, INC.

Supreme Court of Alabama.

March 12, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Paul W. Brock and Ronald L. Davis of Hand, Arendall, Bedsole, Greaves & Johnston, Mobile, for appellant.

John T. Crowder, Jr. of Cunningham, Bounds, Byrd, Yance & Crowder, Mobile, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

The single issue presented is whether the mere fact that a motor vehicle tire blows out proves the tire is a defective product under the Alabama Extended Manufacturer's Liability Doctrine. We hold that an affirmative response, under the attendant circumstances shown by the proof of record in the instant case, would be an impermissible expansion of the standards for liability of manufacturers, suppliers, or sellers of products under Alabama law.
