Was Defective; Contractors Removed From Liability; Trial Set for Jan. 10 in Ohio
After months of motions and countermotions by Heatway and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. on who is to blame, Federal District Judge Dan Aaron Polster narrowed the question down for each side: Was the hose defective?
If Entran II is shown to be defective when Goodyear sold the product to Heatway, a second trial will follow within two weeks for Heatway to recover liability and damages. The first trial is now set for Jan. 10 in Akron, Ohio.
