1Opinion of the Court

Smith, Judge.

April Davis was injured on February 26, 1990 when a heater exploded at her workplace. She filed suit on February 26, 1992, against her employer, who was later dismissed, and DESA International, Inc., the manufacturer of the heater. The trial court granted DESA’s motion to dismiss the action based on the statute of limitation, and Davis appeals.

After a hearing on DESA’s motion, the trial court entered an order finding that the appropriate statute of limitation was OCGA § 9-3-33, and since no tolling occurred under either OCGA § 9-3-90 or OCGA § 9-3-91, the action was barred.
