Description
Signal Oil & Gas Company (hereinafter referred to as Signal) sued Universal Oil Products (UOP), Procon, Inc. (Procon), and Alcorn Combustion Company (Alcorn) for property damage and economic loss resulting from an explosion and fire at Signals Houston refinery. Signal sued UOP, Procon, and Alcorn in strict liability and negligence for defects in the manufacture, design, and/or installation of an isomax reactor charge heater. Signal further sued UOP and Procon for breach of the implied warranty arising from the isomax units design, construction, and installation which failed to meet acceptable engineering standards. Alcorn was also sued for breach of the implied warranty arising from the manufacture and sale of the unit which was unfit or unsuitable for its intended use. Procon filed a cross claim against Alcorn for indemnity. Based on jury findings to special issues, the trial court denied Signal any relief as to all three defendants. The court of civil appeals affirmed. 545 S.W.2d 907. We affirm the judgments of the courts below as to the strict liability cause of action. We reverse the judgments of the courts below and remand the case for a new trial on the merits as to the implied warranty cause of action against Alcorn and Procon.
