Description

MEMORANDUM OPINION Upon Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment - DENIED Upon Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Count II of the Complaint - GRANTED
DEL PESCO, Judge This is a product liability action filed against Colt Industries Operating Corp. ("Colt") alleging that a
single-action .22 caliber revolver manufactured by Colt was defectively designed because it did not include a modern safety.
The gun in question has a primitive safety feature, however, plaintiffs allege that an additional modern safety was necessary.
Defendant admits that the gun did not have a modern safety because it was manufactured as a replica of a 19th Century gun
that was designed when appropriate safety mechanisms were not in existence and the gun manufacturer wanted to protect the
integrity of the design.
