STONE, J.I dissent.
The majority opinion relies in part on Seely v. White Motor Co., 63 Cal.2d 9 [45 Cal.Rptr. 17, 403 P.2d 145], That opinion at page 19 reads as follows: “Plaintiff contends that, even though the law of warranty governs the economic relations between the parties, the doctrine of strict liability in tort should be extended to govern physical injury to plaintiff’s property, as well as personal injury. We agree with this contention. Physical injury to property is so akin to personal injury that there is no reason to distinguish them. ’ ’
Therefore, insofar as the cross-complaint relates to damages to personal property, I would reverse the judgment.
