Text: Strict products liability evolved from principles of public order, and its contours should be shaped according to the purposes it serves within the framework of our civil code. See Bell v. Jet Wheel Blast, 462 So.2d 166, 170 (La.1985); Langlois v. Allied Chemical Corp., 258 La. 1067, 249 So.2d 133 (1971); Planiol, Civil Law Treatise, Vol. 2, Part 1, Nos. 806, 807 (LSLI translation 1939). Accordingly, we have relied on analogy to the codal principle of legal fault or strict liability as well as empirical elements in reaching our conclusions.
