Clary v. Fifth Avenue Chrysler Center, Inc.

OPINION

NESBETT, Chief Justice.

The question presented is whether this court should adopt for Alaska the doctrine of strict liability in tort in product liability cases.

Appellant purchased a new Plymouth Fury I station wagon automobile from ap-pellee Fifth Avenue Chrysler Center, Inc., which had been manufactured by appellee Chrysler Corporation. Some three weeks after she had taken delivery appellant became ill after she had had occasion to sit in the automobile for an extended period of time with the engine running, with the heater on full force, and with the side window rolled partially down.
