Supreme Court of Delaware

Walls v. Ford Motor Company

April 21, 2017

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court's partial summary judgment without deciding whether Ford had a duty to warn about asbestos-containing replacement brake parts supplied by third parties. Any error in that ruling was harmless because the jury found Ford not negligent regarding its own original and replacement asbestos brake parts, making it impossible for the third-party-parts theory to change the outcome.
