Secured summary judgment on behalf of a product manufacturer and distributor after a catastrophic residential fire resulted in a death and injuries to multiple plaintiffs. The plaintiffs alleged a space heater made by the client caused the fire. Recognized and then proved conclusively that the rusted fan blade at the scene of the fire could not have been produced by client based on client’s exclusive use of aluminum fan blades, a fact overlooked by investigators and experts. Summary judgment was eventually granted in favor of the client, dismissing the client from the case, with prejudice.
