Opinion

56894.

ARGUED NOVEMBER 14, 1978.

DECIDED JANUARY 18, 1979.

Products liability. DeKalb State Court. Before Judge Carlisle.

Wininger Gregory, David R. Wininger, for appellants. Neely, Player, Hamilton Hines, Edgar A. Neely, Jr., John W. Winborne, III, for appellee.

SMITH, Judge.

Appellants brought this action for damages caused by an explosion in an automobile owned by appellant Wolfe and manufactured by appellee. Characterizing the suit as one in negligence, appellants urge essentially that we must reverse the non-jury judgment for appellee because the evidence demanded a judgment in their favor. However, the evidence was contradictory on the issues of negligence and causation. We therefore decline to accept appellant's argument and affirm the judgment of the trial court. Ga. L. 1970, pp. 170, 171 (Code Ann. § 81A-152 (a)); Brook Forest Enterprises v. Paulding County, 231 Ga. 695 (1) ( 203 S.E.2d 860) (1974).

Judgment affirmed. Deen, P. J., and Banke, J., concur.
