   ON MOTION FOR CERTIFICATION

PER CURIAM.

We grant Liggett Group, Inc.’s motion for certification and certify the following as questions of great public importance:

1. Is a plaintiff required to establish an alternative safer design in order to prevail on a design defect claim for an inherently dangerous product?

2. Should Florida adopt the Restatement (Third) of Torts for design defect cases?

WARNER, GROSS, JJ., and SCOLA, JACQUELINE HOGAN, Associate Judge, concur.
