Campbell Hausfeld/scott Fetzer Company, Appellant (defendant Below) v. Paul Johnson, Appellee (plaintiff Below)

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that the statutory misuse defense under the Indiana Products Liability Act is a complete bar to recovery when the plaintiff’s misuse is the cause of injury and was not reasonably expected by the manufacturer, and affirmed summary judgment for Campbell Hausfeld because Johnson’s misuse of the grinder satisfied those requirements.
