ON MOTION FOR CERTIFICATION
We grant Liggett Group, Inc's motion for certification and certify the following as questions of great public importance:
1. Is a plaintiff required to establish an alternative safer design in order to prevail on a design defect claim for an inherently dangerous product?
2. Should Florida adopt the Restatement (Third) of Torts for design defect cases?
