Plaintiff was injured while carrying out the duties assigned to him by his employer, who is the defendant. There was no other relationship between plaintiff and defendant. As an employee sustaining injury arising out of and in the course of employment, he was covered by the Workers’ Compensation Act. (Lab. Code, § 3600 et seq.) Section 3601, subdivision (a) provides in pertinent part: “Where the conditions of compensation exist, the right to recover such compensation, pursuant to the provisions of this division is, except as provided by Section 3706, the exclusive remedy for injury or death of an employee against the employer or against any other employee of the employer acting within the scope of his employment,...”
I do not believe that statute can reasonably be construed to allow an exception whenever the employee is injured by a substance manufactured by the employer.
