The United States District Court for the Northern District of New York resolved cross-motions in Bruce v. ITW Building Components Group, Inc. (1:23-CV-398), granting plaintiff leave to file a second amended complaint alleging product liability and failure-to-warn claims arising from a September 25, 2020 workplace injury at Kora Components LLC's Ellenville, New York facility. The court denied defendant's motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), finding plaintiff's proposed amended complaint stated plausible claims that ITW designed and manufactured the Alpine RollerPress without adequate safety warnings or emergency stop mechanisms. The case will proceed with discovery on the correct product.
