Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Frisbee, Moore & Stufft, David Stufft argued, Cut Bank, for plaintiff and appellant.

Jardine, Stephenson, Blewett & Weaver, Lon Holden argued, Great Falls, for defendants and respondents.

We reverse the decision of the District Court and hold that a strict liability action can lie when the only damage suffered is to the defective product itself.
