Lee v. Crookston Coca-Cola Bottling Co.
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.
