1Opinion of the Court
MESCHKE, Justice.
Golden Eagle Fireworks, Olde Glory Marketing, Ltd., and Starr Fireworks, Inc., appeal from a judgment awarding damages to Misty Horstmeyer who was struck in the eye by exploding fireworks. We affirm.
Golden Eagle, Olde Glory, and Starr (collectively “Golden Eagle”) are connected companies who import, distribute, and retail fireworks. In 1991, they sold fireworks that included a 37-shot parachute device named “Victory Celebration.” If working properly, a “Victory Celebration” sequentially fired into the air 37 projectiles, each equipped with a parachute and a flaming flare.
