SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA No. 95-C-0939 PATRICIA ANN MISTICH, ET AL Versus VOLKSWAGEN OF GERMANY, INC., ET AL ON REHEARING PER CURIAM We granted rehearing to reconsider whether the trial court committed manifest error in finding that the Volkswagen seat was defectively designed, and whether plaintiffs presented reliable evidence that a feasible alternative design existed that would have prevented the decedent's death.

ORIGINAL OPINION REINSTATED
