2016(Id. at p. 1152.) We agree with the Second Appellate District and conclude O’Neil does not require evidence of exclusive use, but rather requires a showing of “ ‘inevitable use.’ ” (Sherman, supra, 237 Cal.App.4th at p. 1144 .) O’Neil does not use the term exclusive use; it mentions inevitable use: “Where the intended use of a product inevitably creates a hazardous situation, it is reasonable to expect the manufacturer to give warnings.” (O’Neil, supra, 53 Cal.4th at p. 361 , italics added.) The O’Neil court mentioned the concept of a “sole purpose” when distinguishing Tellez-Cordova.

2013Such a duty would impose an excessive and unrealistic burden on manufacturers. [Citations.] Perversely, such an expanded duty could also undermine consumer safety by inundating users with excessive warnings. ‘To warn of all potential dangers would warn of nothing.’ [Citation.]” (Id. at p. 363.) To this general rule, the court recognized an exception: “Where the - intended use of a product inevitably creates a hazardous situation, it is reasonable to expect the manufacturer to give warnings.” (O’Neil, supra, 53 Cal.4th at p. 361 .)
