PER CURIAM.

The Court finds that there was substantial evidence to make the issue of the government contractor defense a question for a jury to resolve. Therefore, the defendants’ summary judgment based on that defense is reversed on the authority of Pietz v. Orthopedic Equipment Co., 562 So.2d 152 (Ala.1989), cert. denied, — U.S. — , 111 S.Ct. 75, 112 L.Ed.2d 48 (1990), and this cause is remanded for further proceedings.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
