Workers errors used gas-hose producers in strict liability

Reference no: EM13312947

This is a Re post Two experience welders working inside a barge. A gas hose leading to the welding torch developed a leak that the workers apparently could not smell because of "nasal fatigue" from having inhaled so much gas. One worker lit a cigarette igniting the gas killing both workers. The workers errors used the gas and the gas hose producers in strict liability. Was either company liable? [Little v. Liquid Air Corp., F. 3d 1069, 5th Cir. (1994)]
