How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that a family’s being poisoned by carbon monoxide aboard a houseboat tied to the shore of Lake Havasu could not disrupt maritime commerce
  • holding that emission of carbon monoxide injuring family members on a single pleasure boat, where there was no danger to other vessels, did not invoke maritime jurisdiction under the “disruptive impact” test
  • finding no potential disruption of maritime commerce where houseboat occupants were injured by carbon monoxide fumes which could not harm other boats, and refusing to speculate on possible harms where to do so would ignore the actual incident
