George W. Loop and Richard Bennett, Administrators, &C., of Jeremiaii Loop, Deceased, Appellants v. Lyman…

Summary

The Court affirmed the General Term's judgment for the defendants, holding that a manufacturer who sold a defective balance wheel, after disclosing the defect to the purchaser, is not liable to a third‑party user for injuries caused by the defect. The wheel was not considered an instrument whose nature made it imminently dangerous, and the plaintiff’s representatives could not recover.
