Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by This appeal is before the court for review of the unpublished opinion of the Kansas Court of Appeals in Bowers v. Ottenad, No. 57,534, filed March 6, 1986. Betty Bowers filed this action to recover damages for extensive burns sustained in an accident at the home of Richard and Joyce Ottenad. The trial court found as a matter of law that Bowers was a licensee upon the premises and the jury, failing to find any wanton conduct upon the part of the defendants, returned a verdict for the defendants. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court judgment and we granted the petition for review filed by Bowers. The facts are not in dispute. On the evening of March 13, 1982, the gourmet group of an organization known as the Johnson County Young Matrons, Inc., gathered for dinner at the home of Richard and Joyce Ottenad. As was their custom, the gourmet group met periodically at the home of one of their members for a social gathering of dinner and drinks. On each occasion three members of the group would act as co-hostesses for the evening, one of whom was an occupant of the premises where the event was to be held. On the fateful evening, plaintiff/appellant Betty Bowers, Alice Petersen, and Joyce Ottenad were the co-hostesses. Following dinner, Bowers and appellees Gerald D. Petersen and Richard Ottenad were preparing flaming Irish coffees to be served as after-dinner drinks. One hundred ninety proof grain alcohol was being used by the trio to create the flame upon the coffee. While mixing the coffees, the vapors from the alcohol bottle ignited and fire burst forth in the form of a fireball. The flames struck appellant and she suffered severe burns.
