Description
This is a products liability case. Jose Placencio was injured while operating a grinding wheel. The wheel flew apart and fragmented the right guard of the bench grinder to which the wheel was attached. The guard fragments struck Placencio in the head and face, causing severe injuries. Placencio sued Allied International, Inc. and Coast Industrial Exchange, Inc., distributors of the bench grinder. Based upon jury findings that the bench grinder was defectively marketed and designed, the trial court rendered a joint and several judgment against Allied and Coast. The court of appeals reversed the trial courts judgment and remanded the cause for a new trial, holding that the misuse issues requested by Allied should have been submitted to the jury. 685 S.W.2d 364. We reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and affirm that of the trial court.
