Description

1 The questions raised on appeal arise from the award of a jury verdict in a wrongful death action based on manufacturers products liability. The issue presented in the trial court was whether a shotgun, manufactured in Spain, and imported by Firearms International Corporation and F.I. Industries (appellants-importers) for resale, was defectively designed and manufactured in a manner which made it unreasonably dangerous beyond the contemplation of the ordinary user. The cause of action arose as the result of the explosion of a 12 gauge AYS Matador double barrel shotgun. Although it is believed the gun was at least ten years old at the time it exploded, the history of the gun is obscure. None of the parties were able to determine the exact age of the gun, the date of the sale, any chain of ownership, or the extent to which the gun had been used. However, the gun had been modified after purchase with the attachment of a floating rib soldered to the top, presumably to facilitate sighting.
