District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

October 5, 1983.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

T. Rumberger, James A. Edwards of Rumberger, Kirk, Caldwell & Cabaniss, Orlando, Jay M. Smyser, Chicago, Ill., for appellants/cross appellees.

Joel D. Eaton of Podhurst, Orseck, Parks, Josefsberg, Eaton, Meadow & Olin, Miami, Jack Marcus, Simons & Schlesinger, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee/cross appellant.

HURLEY, Judge.

This appeal arises from a products liability case based on the allegation that the fuel tank system in the 1973 Toyota Corona was defectively designed. The jury found for the plaintiff. Toyota appeals, contending that the trial court erred on a critical evidentiary matter and, also, by allowing the issue of punitive damages to go to the jury. We disagree with both contentions and affirm.

The facts of the collision are not in substantial dispute...
