Sullivan v. Crown Cork & Seal Co.

Sullivan v. Crown Cork & Seal Co. was a legal case where the plaintiff, Sullivan, argued that the company’s product, a spray paint container, caused him to suffer injuries due to a defect. The court examined whether the manufacturer was responsible for the injuries under product liability laws. Ultimately, the case clarified the standards for proving a manufacturer’s liability in defective product cases, emphasizing that manufacturers can be held responsible if their product is unreasonably dangerous or defectively designed, leading to injury.
