In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., defendant Dynalectron appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated June 22, 1979, as denied its motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' complaint. Order affirmed insofar as appealed from, with $50 costs and disbursements. The details of the transaction sued upon are not clear. Apparently, the lease between Gatx Leasing Corporation and appellant was either assigned or sublet to Servair, Inc., appellant's wholly-owned subsidiary and plaintiff Emanuel Samaras' employer. On this record, we cannot, as a matter of law, dismiss plaintiffs' claim based on strict liability in tort. It is clear that at least some leases will give rise to an action for strict products liability (Nastasi v. Hochman, 58 A.D.2d 564). Since the motion to dismiss was addressed to the complaint as a whole, it must be denied in its entirety upon a determination that one of the causes of action asserted by the complaint is legally sufficient (De Maria v. Josephs, 41 A.D.2d 655). We are also of the opinion that the plaintiffs' suit is not barred by section 11 of the Workers' Compensation Law. Although appellant is the sole stockholder of Servair, Inc., it is obviously a separate and independent corporation having some 31 other subsidiaries. Thus, it is not plaintiff Emanuel Samaras' "employer" for the purposes of section 11 (Boggs v. Blue Diamond Coal Co., 590 F.2d 655, 662, cert den 444 U.S. 836; accord, Latham v. Technar, Inc., 390 F. Supp. 1031; Thomas v. Hycon, Inc., 244 F. Supp. 151; cf. Thomas v. Maigo Corp., 37 A.D.2d 754; Daisernia v. Co-Operative G.L.F. Holding Corp., 26 A.D.2d 594; Foley v. New York City Omnibus Corp., 112 N.Y.S.2d 217). Mangano, J.P., Cohalan, Martuscello and O'Connor, JJ., concur.
