flag A U.S. appeals court has overturned a $10.5 million verdict against CRC Industries, ruling the company was not liable for a 2019 Minnesota crash that killed Cynthia McDougall. flag The 8th Circuit found the plaintiff’s attorneys failed to provide sufficient evidence that the aerosol duster was unreasonably dangerous or that a safer design could have prevented the tragedy. flag The decision vacates a 2024 jury finding that CRC was 22.5% responsible, with the driver, Kyle Alexander Neumiller, who inhaled the product before crashing and later pleaded guilty to criminal vehicular homicide, bearing 77.5% of the blame. flag The court ordered a judgment in favor of CRC, emphasizing the high burden of proof in product liability cases.
