Defective Material Casting Linked to Catastrophic Failure of Power Tool
Updated on
Case Overview
This case involves a man who suffered serious injuries when an angle grinder exploded while he was using it to remove a seized bolt. The grinder was equipped with a metallic safety cover that shattered when the grinding wheel exploded, sending metal fragments into the man’s arm. It was claimed that the safety guard, which should have prevented or at least mitigated some of the injuries suffered by the tool’s user, was defectively designed and / or manufactured.
