Description
Andrew and Walter Torres and their wives (plaintiffs) brought an action in United States District Court for the District of Arizona alleging that the two men were injured in an automobile accident caused by tread separation of a defective Goodyear tire. Plaintiffs discovered during the course of litigation that the tire had not been manufactured by the defendant, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Inc. (Goodyear); rather, it had been produced by Goodyear Tyre & Rubber (Great Britain), Ltd. (Goodyear GB). Goodyear International Technical Center (GITC), a division of Goodyear SA of Luxembourg (Goodyear Luxembourg), designed the tire. Plaintiffs' complaint alleged four theories of liability. Three of the counts are irrelevant to the issues considered today. The fourth count alleged Goodyear was strictly liable in tort for the injuries caused by the defective product, even though it was not the corporate entity that had designed, manufactured, or distributed the product.
