Renninger v. A&R Machine Shop, PICS Case No. 17-0650 (Pa. Super. April 11, 2017) Stabile, J. (29 pages).
If trial court erred in admitting evidence of employer’s conduct in injured employee’s strict products liability action against designer, manufacturer and supplier of caster that injured employee, that error was harmless because the jury was instructed that employer’s conduct was relevant only if the jury deemed it a superseding cause of the accident and the jury found that the caster was not defective. Affirmed.
