3969 False statements by a manufacturer about the safety of its product made before selling the manufacturing enterprise to a successor and not relied on by the plaintiff do not result in the imposition of misrepresentation liability on the original manufacturer for injury that resulted from plaintiff's exposure to the product manufactured by the successor, even though the successor made the same statements about the product that the original manufacturer had made.CitationCADLO v OWENSILLINOIS (Asbestos Misrepresentation) 125 CA4 513 [See: Small v Fritz 30 C4 167, T/AT 5/03; Mirkin v Wasserman 5 C4 1082, T/AT 11/93; Chavers v Gatke 107 CA4 606, T/AT 5/03]
