The Alabama Supreme Court has held that the disclaimer precludes the recovery of consequential damages. Southland Farms, Inc. v. Ciba-Geigy Corp., 575 So.2d 1077 (1991).
In light of the Supreme Court of Alabama's decision and for the reasons stated therein, the district court's decision is affirmed.
