Description
Where the plaintiffs cannot show that an alleged defect in a product caused the injuries of plaintiff, Lester Rients, nor that the allegedly defective product reached the plaintiffs in substantially the same condition it was sold and delivered by the manufacturer, nor that the injury was not caused by any unusual or abnormal handling by the plaintiffs, the plaintiffs cannot, as a matter of law, prove any theory of products liability. WOZNIAK, Judge Mr. Rients was injured in a tractor accident. He and his wife sued the manufacturer and the distributor in a products liability suit. The suit was originally filed in United States District Court in Minnesota, but was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. The Rientses filed a new suit in the LeSueur County District Court. Neither distributor is presently involved in the suit. Alvin Schloesser was dismissed in November of 1980; Adam Fron settled under a Pierringer Release late in 1982. A trial date was set for June 20, 1983, but the defendant brought its motion for summary judgment on May 18, 1983. Arguments were heard by conference call on June 3, 1983. The defendant's motion was granted and the case dismissed on July 15, 1983. The Rientses appeal. We affirm.
