PER CURIAM.

The decision of the Court of Appeals is affirmed.

However, as in Mickles v. Duke Power Co., 342 N.C. 103, 463 S.E.2d 206 (1995), we disavow the language of the Court of Appeals in its decision in this case suggesting that Restatement (Second) of Torts § 8A illus. 1 (1965) is illustrative of the type of conduct required to satisfy the “substantial certainty” test of Woodson v. Rowland, 329 N.C. 330, 407 S.E.2d 222 (1991).

AFFIRMED.

Justice ORR did not participate in the consideration or decision of this opinion.
