    Harry LANE and Rosa Lane, his wife, Petitioners, v. KOEHRING COMPANY, Respondent.
    No. 70157.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    Dec. 3, 1987.
    Gary K. Silber, and Jane D. Fishman, Fort Lauderdale, for petitioners.
    Leanne J. Frank and James P. Murray of Corlett, Killian, Hardeman, McIntosh & Levi, P.A., Miami, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

We review Lane v. Koehring Co., 503 So.2d 364 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987), to answer two certified questions of great public importance. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. The certified questions are as follows:

I. Should the legislative amendment of Section 95.031(2), Florida Statutes (1983), abolishing the statute of repose in product liability actions, be construed to operate retrospectively as to a cause of action which accrued before the effective date of the amendment?
II. If not, should the decision of Pullum v. Cincinnati, Inc., 476 So.2d 657 (Fla.1985), appeal dismissed, 475 U.S. 1114, 106 S.Ct. 1626, 90 L.Ed.2d 174 (1986), which overruled Battilla v. Allis Chalmers Mfg. Co., 392 So.2d 874 (Fla.1980), apply so as to bar a cause of action that accrued after the Battilla decision but before the Pullum decision?

We recently answered the first question in the negative and the second question in the affirmative in Melendez v. Dreis and Krump Manufacturing Co., 515 So.2d 735 (Fla.1987). We approve the decision below on the authority of Melendez.

It is so ordered.

McDonald, C.J., and OVERTON, EHRLICH, SHAW, BARKETT, GRIMES and KOGAN, JJ., concur.
