Description
Hopkins Agricultural Chemical Company appeals a judgment awarding Tony Spychalla Farms, Inc., $227,050 under a strict liability theory for damages to seed potatoes caused by Captan dust that Hopkins manufactured. Hopkins asserts that Spychalla cannot recover in strict liability for damage to property and that Spychalla does not have a cause of action for economic damages based upon loss of expectation of performance of Hopkins product. Hopkins also raises a variety of other issues regarding the sufficiency of the evidence on both liability and damages. Spychalla cross-appeals, arguing that the jury erroneously reduced his damage award by five percent, the amount of negligence it attributed to him. He also contends that he is entitled to recover $75,920 in interest expenses.
