No. 06-C-1883.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

February 22, 2007.

Allen & Gooch, Michael Edward Parker, Lafayette, for Applicant.

Anthony Craig Dupre, Ville Platte, for Respondent.

VICTORY, J.

We granted this writ application to determine whether the lower courts were manifestly erroneous in finding that the plaintiff met her burden of proof under the Louisiana Product's Liability Act (the "LPLA"). After reviewing the record and the applicable law, we reverse the judgments of the lower courts which awarded damages in favor of the plaintiff.
