Abstract

In June 1977 the Ohio Supreme Court decided Temple v. Wean United, Inc., and adopted the doctrine of strict liability for product liability litigation, thereby following a national trend. Earlier decisions had discussed a theory similar to strictly liability and had engendered considerable confusion as to the substantive theory supporting possibly recovery. Temple apparently ended the confusion.
