Myrtle B. Poplar, Appellants v. Bourjois, Inc., Appellant and Respondent, and Lorscheider Schang Co., Inc…

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the negligence action, holding that under Maryland law a manufacturer is not liable to ultimate purchasers unless the product is inherently dangerous, and a cosmetics box with a metal star is not such a product. The court also reiterated that liability depends on foreseeability of any harm, not the precise nature of the injury.
