LEIBSON, Justice.

This is a products liability case. The movant, Ford Motor Company, won at the trial level, but the Court of Appeals reversed and remanded on grounds: (1) the instructions were erroneous; and (2) trial error in excluding evidence of a change in the design of the product. Having granted discretionary review of the Court of Appeals' decision, we affirm in all respects but one, which we discuss towards the end of this Opinion.
