Fletcher, Presiding Justice,
dissenting.
The majority notes that Banks v. ICI Americas1 does not preclude adjudication as a matter of law in a design defect action. I agree with this principle; however, I also agree with the well-reasoned opinion of the Georgia Court of Appeals that this is one of *648those cases that demands judgment as a matter of law. Therefore, I dissent.
