Facts
P became locked inside the trunk of a 1973 Ford LTD automobile, where she remained for some nine days. P was attempting suicide. P now seeks to recover for psychological and physical injuries arising from that occurrence. P contends that the automobile had a design defect in that the trunk lock or latch did not have an internal release or opening mechanism. She also maintains that the manufacturer is liable based on a failure to warn of this condition. P sued under (1) strict products liability under § 402A of the Restatement 2d of Torts (1965), (2) negligence, and (3) breach of express warranty and implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. D moved for summary judgment.
