Ayers v. Johnson & Johnson Baby Products Co.

A 15-month-old child suffered irreparable brain damage after inhaling baby oil. The child's parents and guardian ad litem sued the manufacturer of the oil, Johnson & Johnson Baby Products Co., alleging that the injury was proximately caused by the manufacturer's negligence in failing to put a warning on the container. The jury returned a verdict for the child and his parents. The trial judge granted Johnson & Johnson a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, or, alternatively, a new trial. The Court of Appeals reinstated the jury verdict. We affirm the Court of Appeals.
