CERCONE, President Judge,
concurring:
Although I agree with the analysis and result of the majority on both the § 402A issue and the contractual issue, I feel that I must comment upon my position in Wedner v. Fidelity Security Systems, Inc., 228 Pa.Superior Ct. 67, 307 A.2d 429 (1973). The Wedner case is limited to its own facts and is not controlling in this matter. Moreover, Wedner does not set forth principles which are to be applied generally-
The contractual provision under scrutiny in Wedner was tantamount to termination of the contract. Such is not the case instantly. Herein, the contract ensures that the burglar alarm company must continue service and make the necessary repairs. The question thus becomes, whether the burglar alarm company should be responsible for a 11 consequences resulting from a malfunctioning alarm system. Under the circumstances presented, I do not believe that the company should be made wholly liable for the loss incurred.
