American Home Products Corp., 286 Ga. App. 305 (650 SE2d 585) (2007) (Ferrari I). In Ferrari I, the Court of Appeals reversed the partial summary judgment granted by the trial court in favor of Appellants, who are vaccine manufacturers, on the design defect claims of Appellees Marcelo and Carolyn Ferrari, individually and on behalf of their minor son, for neurological injury allegedly caused by vaccines. The opinion in Ferrari II held that Appellees' design defect claims are not preempted by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act of 1986, 42 USC
