A lawsuit in which a man alleged he was seriously injured by defective fireworks has been transferred out of the Philadelphia federal court to its Harrisburg counterpart after the district judge examined factors such as where the fireworks were manufactured and sold, where the injury occurred and where witnesses reside.
In Harper v. Sky King Fireworks, U.S. District Judge Curtis Joyner of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania approved defendant Sky King Fireworks’ request for a change of venue to the Middle District of Pennsylvania in plaintiff Eric Harper’s lawsuit.
