1Opinion of the Court
CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.
Ronald Zepik was injured while diving into an in-ground swimming pool at the home of some friends. He brought suit in federal court against four manufacturers of swimming pool components and a pool supply company raising claims based on the Consumer Products Safety Act (“CPSA”) and on a variety of pendent state law theories, including strict liability, negligence, willful and wanton misconduct and breach of express and implied warranties. Zepik’s complaint based subject matter jurisdiction solely on the federal question raised by the CPSA claim.
