Armstrong Rubber Company, Petitioner v. Conrada Urquidez and Clemente Urquidez, Jr., Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that strict liability in tort does not apply to a tire that was never placed in the stream of commerce, even though it was a defective product of the manufacturer. Because the tire was a non‑interest spare used only in an industrial testing bailment and never released to an ordinary consumer, the court reversed the lower courts and entered judgment for the defendant.
