Torts C41208

Siemens Automotive Limited v. Van Dorn Demag Corporation

Van Dorn and Imperial Eastman owed a duty to warn Siemens of the specific risks of reusing repaired hoses; Siemens' inadequate maintenance did not negate the duty to warn; the trial judge's factual findings and apportionment (Siemens 15%) were not so clearly wrong as to warrant appellate interference; Imperial Eastman's catalogue warning did not address the specific risk and was inadequate; Imperial Eastman could not rely on the learned intermediary doctrine on the facts found. Therefore the appeal and cross-appeal were dismissed.

  • Duty to warn
  • Apportionment of liability
  • Learned intermediary doctrine
  • Adequacy of warnings
  • Failure to warn
