Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit November 17, 1987, 86-3039 (Gerber Products Company v. Fisher Tank Company, Earl Goodwin, Jr., D/B/A Commercial Coatings Company, and Commercial Coatings Company of Apex)

HAYNSWORTH, Senior Circuit Judge:

A painting and lining contractor, apparently of relatively small size, applied the wrong liner on the interior of a large hot water storage tank used in the processing of baby foods. The consequences may approach the disastrous, but a court may not shift blame away from the one party whose error or mistake was the sole cause of the economic injury.
