    $2 Million Verdict for Foreman Injured by Pipe Plug

    The Legal Intelligencer (12/4, Needles) reported, "A federal jury entered the $2 million verdict against Vanderlans and Sons Inc., the manufacturer of the test plugs -- inflatable rubber stoppers that are placed in both ends of a pipe and inflated in order to test the pipe's airtightness -- before Judge J. Curtis Joyner in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Nov. 25" in favor of a "construction foreman who completely lost use of his right arm after pressure buildup caused a 'test plug' to shoot from the end of a pipe he was installing and pierce his hand." The defendant's attorney "said he felt the case should never have made it to a jury once it was determined that his client's product was not unreasonably dangerous as a matter of law" and that "he will most likely file post-trial motions."
