Description

This is an action for personal injury. The plaintiff, Smith, was injured in an explosion at the plant of his employer, Marbon Chemical Co. He sued Crouse-Hinds, the manufacturer of the electrical switches used in the plant claiming that the switches were defective and unreasonably dangerous because they were constructed so that a metal pin might become disengaged and fall out. At trial Smith attempted to place in evidence such a pin, but it was excluded on objection. The court then excluded evidence from Smiths expert witness based upon his examination of that pin. At the Conclusion of plaintiffs case, the court granted the defendants motion for judgment on the evidence. These three rulings constitute the errors raised on appeal.
