CAMPBELL V. COLEMAN CO., INC.
786 F.2d 892 (8th Cir. 1986)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a strict liability action.
FACTS: P claimed that his two children were injured when a lantern manufactured by D
exploded and burned them. P claimed that the lantern was defectively manufactured. D
contends that a Hayes filled the lantern with gasoline, lit it, and then threw it from the
house and that it had accidentally hit the children. D had subpoenaed Hayes but informed the
trial judge that they could not locate him. D called three witnesses to testify about Hayes'
out of court statements. P objected and the trial court permitted the testimony. These
witnesses corroborated D's version of the events. The verdict went to D and P appealed.
