New York Court of Appeals

Dennis Buckley, Jr., by Guardian v. the Gutta Percha and Rubber Manufacturing Company, Appellant

June 4, 1889113 N.Y. 540

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the judgment, holding that the employer owed no duty to warn the twelve‑year‑old boy about the obvious danger of the machine because the boy was familiar with it, and that the injury resulted from an inevitable slip, not from any negligence by the employer.
