Similar complete unavailability of the manufacturer or others in the original chain of distribution simply is not at issue here. As the majority states in its recitation of facts, the plaintiff here settled with the builder and a door assembler and installer for a minimum of $150,000 and has actions pending against defendants in addition to the landlord. No legal unavailability of the kind occurring in Alad presented a problem for plaintiff's recovery. Moreover, there is no reasonable suggestion that the relationship between the landlord here and any party participating in the original manufacture and distribution of the shower door can be analogized to the almost complete overlap of the corporate entities in Alad. It is illogical to conclude that the landlord here became part of the overall marketing scheme for the shower doors merely by purchasing property in which they had long since been installed.
