Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit January 10, 2001, No. 99-4216 (Sprinkle v. United Dominion Industries, Inc.)

OPINION

GILMAN, Circuit Judge.

Janice Sprinkle’s husband was crushed and killed by an asphalt-rolling machine that turned over while he was operating the roller. She filed a products-liability suit against the manufacturer, United Dominion Industries, alleging that the roller had a design defect because it was not equipped with a roll-over protection system.
