The court next concluded that Columbus McKinnon, as the actual manufacturer of a defective product that caused the deaths, is strictly liable in tort for the damages under either Louisiana or maritime law.  The court concluded that, because Gearench had held the product out as its own, Gearench's liability to members of the public injured by the product mirrors that of the manufacturer.  After reviewing related law, however, the court determined that under both Louisiana and maritime law a non-negligent "professional vendor" is entitled to indemnity from the negligent manufacturer and therefore that Gearench was entitled to indemnity from Columbus McKinnon.  It made no finding concerning the reasonableness of the amount paid in settlement.
