Beasley, Judge,
concurring specially.
The dissent in Landrum v. Cobb County Concrete Prods., 191 *594Ga. App. 805 (383 SE2d 144) (1989), found the issue here sufficiently raised by the pleadings and agreed with the appellant that the statutory employer who is the manufacturer of the allegedly defective or deficient product is not made immune from a product liability claim by OCGA §§ 34-9-8 and 34-9-11. However, that opinion gained no other adherents in either respect and thus I am compelled to concur.
