Description
Plaintiff George McGowan and intervening plaintiff Donald Berkley suffered severe injuries when a newly rebuilt air compressor owned by their employer, Pennwalt Corporation, exploded during a test run. They sued Cooper Industries, Inc., which manufactured the compressor, and Harold Babcock, a factory representative for Cooper who inspected the rebuilding of the compressor at Pennwalt's plant in Calvert City, Kentucky. Their action was brought on negligence and product liability theories. In addition, third party actions were filed by the defendants against Pennwalt Corporation for indemnity and contribution. Pennwalt, in turn, filed a counterclaim against Cooper Industries and Babcock for property damage and reimbursement for worker compensation sums paid to Pennwalt's employees, McGowan and Berkley.
