The state Superior Court has upheld the $17.3 million judgment in a Philadelphia products liability case entered against the manufacturer of a racking system used in a frozen food warehouse.

Plaintiff Leroy Rice, a forklift operator, was partially paralyzed when several 90-pound boxes of frozen food stored on the racking system fell on him, according to the Feb. 22 memorandum decision in Rice v. 2701 Red Lion Road Associates LP .
