Texas/New Mexico Stateline | I would think it would depend some on how related the two items are regarding their intended use. Say a garden hose manufacturer and a hose attachment that goes under a lawn mower deck.
The hose manufacturer could conceivably warn against improper use, and "unapproved" attachments, etc. They guy screws the lawnmower cleaning attachment on an proceeds to run the mower while washing. It grabs the attachment, winds up the hose and also his arm.
Lawyers say the hose manufacturer did not display warnings prominently enough, so therefore they are also party to the injury.
But I am sure you have something much less straightforward as that. I still think it would fall into the realm of how far from the intended use the new concept falls.
