Description
We are asked to decide whether this products liability suit, which arises under the diversity jurisdiction, is barred by the "economic loss" doctrine. Rardin v. T & D Machine Handling, Inc., 890 F.2d 24 (7th Cir. 1989). The parties agree that Wisconsin law governs. The plaintiffs, Mr. and Mrs. Miller, own an office building in Milwaukee, consisting of an original structure completed in 1969 and an addition completed in 1976. Mr. Miller is an architect and designed the building, including the addition. The exterior walls both of the original building and of the addition are of "Cor-Ten" steel, manufactured by the defendant, U.S. Steel, which sold the steel to a subcontractor, since defunct, who fabricated it into steel panels that were then installed by the projects general contractor.
