Fitzgerald v. Advanced Spine Fixation Sys., Inc

In Fitzgerald v. Advanced Spine Fixation Sys., Inc., 996 S.W.2d 864, 867 (Tex. 1999), the Court concluded that pleadings joining a seller as defendant in a products liability action were sufficient to invoke the manufacturer's indemnity duty under the Act. Fitzgerald, 996 S.W.2d at 867. It did not matter when later it was established that this particular defendant seller had not actually sold the injury-causing product. Id. at 869.
