1Opinion of the Court
HILL, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal from a final judgment entered in favor of plaintiff-appellee in a wrongful death/survival statute action predicated on various products liability theories. The suit alleged that defendant-appellant (among others) was liable to plaintiff, in her own right and on her decedent’s behalf, for manufacturing and selling asbestos-containing products to which plaintiff’s decedent was exposed. We have determined that this case presents a controlling question of law which should be certified to the Florida Supreme Court.
