Supreme Court of New Jersey

Edwin F. Jakubowski, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, a Corporation of Delaware…

April 20, 196442 N.J. 177

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the trial court's dismissal, holding that the plaintiff failed to prove by a preponderance that the abrasive disc was unreasonably dangerous when it left the manufacturer, and therefore could not recover on either negligence or implied warranty. A dissent argued the evidence was sufficient to send the case to a jury.
