Minnesota Supreme Court
188 N.W.2d 426 (1971)
- Written by Dan Lake, JD
Facts
Lee (plaintiff) was a waitress who received injuries when a Coca-Cola (defendant) bottle exploded while in her hand. There was no evidence that the bottle struck anything or underwent any extreme temperatures. Lee brought negligence, strict liability, and breach of warranty claims against Coca-Cola for her injuries. The trial court did not allow the jury to hear Lee’s strict liability claim, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of Coca-Cola.
