Description
In this products liability action, Procter & Gamble appeals from the district courts judgment enforcing a jury verdict and award against it for $300,000. The action arose following Patricia Kehms death from toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Plaintiffs-appellees, Mrs. Kehms surviving husband and children (Kehms), alleged that Mrs. Kehms use of Rely tampons, a product designed and manufactured by Procter & Gamble, proximately caused her death, and that the tampons were defective and unreasonably dangerous. The jury returned a verdict in the plaintiffs favor, awarding them $300,000 in compensatory damages, but rejecting the Kehms demand for punitive damages.
