Sears, Roebuck and Co. v. Black

Opinion

DICKENSON, Justice.

The issue is whether there is sufficient evidence to support the jury’s finding that defendant “was negligent in failing to have properly designed” the washing machine which it sold to plaintiffs and that such negligence was a proximate cause of the fire which burned plaintiffs’ mobile home. The jury also answered in another portion of the charge that the washing machine was not defectively designed at the time it was manufactured, but there is no point of error urging a conflict in these answers.1
