Swix v. Daisy Manufacturing Co‪.‬

RECOMMENDED FOR FULL-TEXT PUBLICATION Pursuant to Sixth Circuit Rule 206 ELECTRONIC CITATION: 2004 FED App. 0192P (6th Cir.) Argued: March 11, 2004 OPINION Your mother refused to buy you a BB gun, warning that ""you'll shoot your eye out."" Apparently she was right to be concerned. Based on the facts of this case and a review of other cases on the topic, it seems that BBs are attracted to children's eyes as politicians are attracted to television cameras. After losing the use of one eye, Aaron Swix together with his parents brought this products liability action against Daisy, the manufacturer of the air rifle which was used to shoot him, alleging that the air rifle was defectively designed. The district court dismissed Swix's complaint. This appeal followed. I.
