SAND, Justice,
specially concurring.
I concurred in and signed the basic opinion. Nevertheless, I am compelled to make additional comment. The impression I received from the basic opinion is that the limitation or constriction placed on contributory negligence applies only to the instant case.
I am satisfied that in a products liability action contributory negligence, as a descriptive term, is negligence even though placed under another heading or title, i.e., “misuse,” and is relevant to the resolution of the issue. In some instance it may even be the proximate cause of the injury and damage and needs to be considered depending upon the circumstances of the case.
