O.S. Stapley Co. V. Miller

The plaintiff based her claim on the alleged faulty steering system of the boat and brought suit against Villalpondo, (the operator of the boat), the O. S. Stapley Company, (retailers and installers of the boat's steering system), the Seth Smith Boat Works, Inc., (intermediate sellers of the steering system), and American Chain and Cable Company, (manufacturers of the steering system). The claim against Villalpondo was dismissed at the beginning of the trial.
