Opinion
December 3, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Bertram Katz, J.).
The IAS Court properly determined that the affidavit of plaintiff's expert raises an issue of fact as to whether the air preheater manufactured by defendant Air Preheater should have contained the safety devices described therein (see, Micallef v Miehle Co., 39 N.Y.2d 376). We also agree that the parties' depositions and plaintiff's employer's final report of the accident raise issues of fact as to whether, inter alia, defendant Air Preheater was under a duty to warn of the absence of such safety devices (see, Bolm v Triumph Corp., 33 N.Y.2d 151), and whether outside contractor defendant Fred Heyrich Industrial Services exercised such control over plaintiff and the accident site as to make it liable under Labor Law § 200.
We have reviewed appellants' contentions and find them to be without merit.
