submitted to trial jury for resolution); Parks v. Pep Boys, 282 N.J.Super. 1, 8-12, 659 A.2d 471 (App.Div.1995) (affirming denial of summary judgment on liability and holding that question whether decedent’s voluntary inhalation of Freon sold by defendant to decedent’s fourteen-year-old companion constituted superseding cause that barred defendant’s liability for negligent sale of Freon raised causation issue for determination by jury at trial). In other contexts, our courts have determined that intervening events constituted superseding causes as a matter of law, where such events were sufficiently extraordinary or so clearly unrelated to the antecedent negligence that imposition of liability would be unreasonable.
