Achatz v. Rollerblade, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
May 9, 1996
227 A.D.2d 199 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

May 9, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Paula Omansky, J.).


We agree with the IAS Court that defendant's manual, which plaintiff admits to have read prior to using defendant's in-line skates, contains adequate warning of the potential dangers of use of this product without protective gear. Thus, as a matter of law, plaintiff's claims based on failure to warn are precluded (see, Bazerman v. Gardall Safe Corp., 203 A.D.2d 56; compare, Lugo v. LJN Toys, 146 A.D.2d 168, affd 75 N.Y.2d 850).

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Ellerin, Ross, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
