The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has refused to review the two largest verdicts -- worth more than $65 million -- ever handed up by Luzerne County juries. The high court's ruling upholds a decision that rejected the appeals of a sprinkler system manufacturer that was held partially liable for a warehouse fire that destroyed millions of stored documents. The Superior Court rejected the argument that the sprinkler system was not a "product" because it was not completely installed at the time of the fire.
