Description
This is an appeal from a judgment entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County following its order denying appellant's (hereinafter Owens-Illinois) post-trial motion requesting a new trial.1 The issues presented on this appeal are: (1) whether the trial court erred, as a matter of law, in determining that Pennsylvania substantive law would apply to the liability determination of this products liability case and; (2) whether the choice of law issue was properly preserved for appellate review. We hold that such issue is properly before us and that the trial court erred in determining that Pennsylvania law controls the liability determination with respect to Owens-Illinois.
