Florence Messler sued the importers of a Spanish-made double-barrel shotgun after it burst during a skeet shoot and killed her husband, Robert Messler.

A federal jury awarded $125,000 to Nancy Brown, a Stillwater, Oklahoma laundry worker whose right hand was pulled into a commercial six-roll ironer that kept turning after it was shut off. Her hand was badly burned and three fingers were amputated. The jury found the manufacturer liable over its argument that someone else had altered the machine's safety system. The Tenth Circuit affirmed in 1984, holding that the evidence supported the verdict on either of her two defect theories.
