Court Rejects Greater Protection for Bystanders

John Deere & Co. cannot be held liable for a riding lawnmower accident that severed the feet of a two-year-old boy, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled. The justices held that bystanders are not entitled to any greater protection from dangerous products and that the accident resulted from negligent use of the mower and negligent supervision by the boy's parents. In 2004, the boy's father accidentally ran into his son while mowing the lawn. AP, Pantagraph 07/14/2009
