Heading: Submission of both strict liability and implied warranty in the same action.

Text: Jewell asserts this was not the exceptional case which would justify submission of the case to the jury on both these theories, citing Hawkeye Security Insurance Co. v. Ford Motor Co., 199 N.W.2d 373, 381-82 (Iowa 1972). But here the jury upon special interrogatories found in Jewell's favor on both strict liability and implied warranty. Under a long line of Iowa decisions, where the issue is found in favor of the complaining party, all inference of prejudice is avoided. See, e.g., Oakes v. Peter Pan Bakers, Inc., 258 Iowa 447, 459, 138 N.W. 2d 93, 98 (1965); Cunningham v. Court, 248 Iowa 654, 662, 82 N.W.2d 292, 295 (1957).
