New York Court of Appeals
Hector Rosado v. Proctor & Schwartz, Inc., and Third-Party Comet Fibers, Inc., Third-Party Defendant-Respondent
October 15, 198566 N.Y.2d 21
Summary
The Court affirmed the dismissal of Proctor & Schwartz's indemnity claim, holding that a manufacturer of a defective product cannot obtain indemnification from the purchaser under a contract requiring the purchaser to install safety devices, because implied indemnity is unavailable in strict products liability actions.
