The plaintiff Victor Quvus was injured when he fell from a chair. Although the plaintiffs proffered sufficient evidence to identify the defendant as the manufacturer of the chair, there is nothing in the record from which it can be reasonably inferred that the chair was defective, either in its design or manufacture, in order to recover pursuant to the theory of strict products liability (see, Winckel v Atlantic Rentals Sales, 159 A.D.2d 124; 86 N.Y. Jur 2d, Products Liability, § 66). The plaintiffs' argument in this regard relies largely on the conclusory affidavit of the plaintiffs' expert, which is pure speculation and insufficient to create a material issue of fact (see, Affuso v Crestline Plastic Pipe Co., 194 A.D.2d 884, 885). Thus, the defendant's motion for summary judgment was properly granted (see, Zuckerman v City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557).
The plaintiffs' contention regarding the court's denial of their motion to resettle the judgment is without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Balletta, Miller and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
