PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal by plaintiffs from an order dismissing their complaint. The complaint charged that the defendant, Sears Roebuck and Company, was liable in damages to plaintiffs for injuries suffered by the minor plaintiff when the trousers purchased from Sears by plaintiffs ignited while they were being worn by the minor. Upon motion of the defendant, Sears, the trial court dismissed the complaint. The order stated no grounds for the dismissal. Application for leave to amend was heard and denied.
Upon consideration of the record on appeal, briefs and argument of counsel, we have concluded that the complaint did not wholly fail to state a cause of action upon which relief could be granted. Therefore, the court erred in dismissing the complaint.
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

Spinner v. Wainer, 430 So. 2d 595 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983)…mary judgment was undoubtedly awarded because the record was void of any expert opinion that the negligence of the appellees was the proximate cause of any injury to the child — an essential element of the cause of action.4 See Salinetro v. Nystrom, 341 So. 2d 1059 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977). Had counsel believed the motion was to be considered on the merits perhaps they would have presented legitimate expert testimony to contradict what is now uncontra-dicted; although, for .all we know, such legitimate expert medic…
