Description
The central issue presented for review is whether a plaintiff is barred by the doctrine of res judicata from bringing strict liability in tort and negligence claims against the manufacturer and retailer of an allegedly defective product -- when the plaintiff, as here, has already suffered an adverse judgment in virtually the same products liability action, based on the same operative facts, brought by the plaintiff against the wholesale distributor of the subject product wherein it was determined that the product in question was not defective. For the reasons which follow, we conclude that res judicata bars the plaintiff from bringing these successive claims, and, consequently, affirm the final summary judgment entered below in favor of the manufacturer and retailer.
