2085 REHEARING GRANTED (SEE # 2112) Liability for a defective product manufactured by a predecessor can be imposed on a successor, if the successor's acquisition of the predecessor destroyed plaintiff's remedies against the predecessor; and the successor had the ability to assume the predecessor's risk-spreading role; and responsibility for defective products was a burden necessarily attached to the successor's enjoyment of the predecessor's good will.
