Ohio Medical Products v. Christy Suber and Craig Suber

The jury awarded plaintiffs in excess of $6,000,000 in a products liability action. Christy Suber suffered permanent brain damage from an overdose of anesthesia during a minor surgical procedure. She and her husband sued the anesthesiologist, the hospital and others for negligence and medical malpractice. They sued appellants, Ohio Medical Products, Inc., Airco, Inc., The BOC Group, Inc., and Ohmeda (hereafter "Ohmeda"), the manufacturers, sellers and servicers of the anesthesia gas machine, alleging a defective product, negligent design and negligent failure to warn of known hazards related to the machine. On appeal Ohmeda raises six points of error. We affirm.
