The judgment of the Appellate Division is affirmed for the reasons given in its opinion reported at 113 N. J. Super. 279.
We add that whenever the facts permit an inference that the harmful event ensued from some defect (whether identifiable or not) in the product, the issue of liability is for the jury, and the plaintiff is not necessarily confined to the explanation his expert may advance.
For affirmance—Chief Justice Weinteaub and Justices Jacobs, Erancis, Peoctoe, Hall, Schettino and Mountain—7.
For reversal—None.
