Andrew Velez v. Craine & Clark Lumber Corp.

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for a new trial, holding that the invoice disclaimer of warranties did not bar recovery by the injured workers and that the jury charge was erroneous for omitting the requirement that plaintiffs could not have discovered the defect, making the verdict unsustainable under the strict products liability standards articulated in Codling v. Paglia.
