Opinions

The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit,996 F.2d 1164, has certified the following question to this Court (we have slightly modified the question):

"Does contributory negligence bar recovery in an [Alabama Extended Manufacturer's Liability Doctrine ("AEMLD")] case if a proximate cause of the accident was the unreasonably dangerous condition of the product, but a contributing proximate cause of the accident was the plaintiff's failure to use reasonable care [in using the product]?"

We answer the certified question in the affirmative. SeeGeneral Motors Corp. v. Saint, 646 So.2d 564 (Ala. 1994).

QUESTION ANSWERED.

MADDOX, ALMON, SHORES and STEAGALL, JJ., concur.
