Lee Jackson sued Camden Oil Company, LLC and Durakon Industries for personal injuries Jackson suffered in a gasoline fire. Following our grant of their applications for interlocutory appeal, Camden Oil and Durakon appeal the denial of their motions for summary judgment. For the reason set forth below, we find the trial court erred in failing to grant partial summary judgment to Camden Oil on the issue of whether Camden Oil was negligent in failing to provide an adequate warning of the risks involved in filling a portable container with gasoline. We affirm the trial court’s denial of Camden Oil’s motion for summary judgment as to Jackson’s claims that Camden Oil was negligent in its efforts to communicate the warning and was negligent per se by reason of its violation of certain rules and regulations of the Georgia Fire Safety Commission. We also affirm the trial court’s denial of summary judgment as to Jackson’s negligence and strict liability claims against Durakon. To prevail on a motion for summary judgment, the moving party must demonstrate that there is no genuine issue of material fact, and that the undisputed facts, viewed in a light most favorable to the party opposing the motion, warrant judgment as a matter of law.1 “This court considers de novo the entire record before it on review of denial of a motion for summary judgment in order to determine if there were genuine issues of material fact which would preclude summary judgment or whether, instead, any such disputes were immaterial and movants Camden Oil and Durakon were entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law.”2
So viewed, the record shows that on May 19, 1999, Jackson’s employer, AFF International, asked him to get some gasoline for a pressure washer machine at AFF’s plant. AFF provided Jackson with a three and half gallon portable container normally used for storing fragrances. Jackson drove his employer’s pickup truck to a Conoco gas station operated by Camden Oil. At the station, Jackson dispensed gasoline into the container from a self service gasoline pump while the container was lying on the bed liner of the truck. The truck’s bed liner was designed and manufactured by Durakon Industries.
