Brianna Meyer and Larry Drabot won summary judgment in the Western District of WI in a negligent design and breach of warranty case. A plastics parts manufacturer alleged that the colorant supplied by our client did not contain adequate UV protection causing their products to prematurely degrade, seeking over $2 million in damages. The court held that the warranty claims were not brought within the one year limitations period specified in the purchase order terms and conditions, and that negligence claims were barred by the Economic Loss Doctrine.
