1Opinion of the Court
HODGES, Judge.
This appeal presents an issue of first impression. Did the trial court err by instructing the jury on manufacturers’ products liability when a design defect caused only deterioration in the product itself resulting in purely economic loss? We answer in the affirmative and hold that such a claim must be pursued as a warranty action.
There is a second issue. Did the trial court err by denying manufacturer’s motion for a directed verdict on dealer’s claim of malicious interference with a business relationship? We answer in the affirmative.
