Description
In this products liability action concerning an allegedly defective step ladder, plaintiff, Patty Ann Koehn appeals the judgment entered upon a jury verdict in favor of defendant, R. D. Werner Company, Inc. Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company intervened as a plaintiff. Plaintiff contends the trial court erred in: (1) excluding evidence of a similar post-accident step ladder failure; (2) instructing the jury on the affirmative defense of unforeseeable misuse; (3) instructing the jury on the manufacturer's right to assume that warnings will be read and followed; (4) instructing the jury on issues which were not contested; (5) admitting expert testimony and a videotape demonstration concerning the defendant's theory of how the step ladder collapsed; and (6) assessing costs. Defendant cross-appeals the trial court's assessment of costs following an order of mistrial. We reverse and remand for retrial.
