U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-1068
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Beam and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Products liability. The district court did not err in
granting defendant's motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's products
liability claim as plaintiff failed to show the hydraulic press in
question was defective or dangerous at the time of sale in 1992; with
respect to plaintiff's claim for negligent product liability, plaintiff
failed to show defendant owed him a duty under Missouri law as the defect
was not latent because the danger of operating the press without a guard
was open, obvious and apparent.
