Description

This is an appeal from an order granting a motion for judgment n.o.v. setting aside an award of punitive damages and attorneys' fees in a products liability action brought to recover damages for injuries caused by a fire in a television set designed and manufactured by The Admiral Corporation (Admiral). Two issues are presented for review: (1) whether the district court erred in concluding that no reasonable person could have found that Admiral's conduct in designing and marketing the television was intentional, reckless, wanton, willful or gross so as to justify the award of punitive damages and attorneys' fees; and (2) whether the district court erred in excluding evidence of Admiral's conduct after appellant's injury, offered to show Admiral's state of mind or intent as a predicate for punitive damages.
