How courts have described this case

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

• noting that it would be “nonsensical” to make use depend on the “user’s mental state”
• emphasizing that, to establish reasonably anticipated use, plaintiff who misuses product must present evidence that defendant knew or should have known that others were similarly misusing the product
• finding plaintiff’s use of a car jack while he got underneath the vehicle to inspect it was not a reasonably anticipated use
• “the level of generality at which a plaintiff’s ‘use’ of a product is defined will bear directly on whether the plaintiff satisfies the LPLA’s reasonably anticipated use requirement”
