DEFENDANT, BASED ON ITS STATUS AS BAILOR OF THE MACHINE WHICH ALLEGEDLY INJURED PLAINTIFF, MAY BE LIABLE UNDER BREACH OF WARRANTY AND STRICT PRODUCTS LIABILITY CAUSES OF ACTION (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, in a decisions addressing many issues not summarized here, noted that breach of warranty and strict products liability causes of action can arise from a bailment. Here plaintiff alleged she was injured by a machine (called a “table”) and defendant was the “owner” of the table by virtue of its status as bailor:

In light of … material issues of fact as to whether defendant owned and/or was bailor of the table, we find that Supreme Court erred in granting defendant’s motion for summary judgment as to the breach of implied warranty cause of action. As “[t]here is, in fact, no substantive distinction between [the theories of breach of implied warranty and strict products liability] in the context of this case” … , we reach this same conclusion as to the strict products liability cause of action. Reese v Raymond Corp., 2022 NY Slip Op 01077, Third Dept 2-17-22
