““In determining whether a demurrer should be sustained and the complaint dismissed, the question presented is whether, on the facts averred, the law says with certainty that no recovery is possible. King v. U.S. Steel Corp., 432 Pa. 140 , 247 A.2d 563 (1968); Sun Ray Drug Co. v. Lawler, 366 Pa. 571 , 79 A.2d 262 (1951). In considering the demurrer, every well-pleaded material fact set . forth in the complaint, as well as all inferences reasonably deducible therefrom, must be taken to be admitted: Yania v. Bigan, 397 Pa. 316 , 155 A.2d 343 (1959); Mistick v. Cammack, 397 Pa. 296 , 154 A.2d 588 (1959).” Id.; cited in McGaha v. Matter, 365 Pa. Super. 6 , 528 A.2d 988 (1987). 1”
