Kunze v. Sears Roebuck & Co
N/AOUTCOME: 2.5 Million
This case involved a radial arm saw that was manufactured by Emerson Electric Company. Sears had sold millions of these saws since 1957 without a lower blade guard. Mr. Kunze lost 4 fingers as a result ... of this defect. Shortly after the Texas Supreme Court let Mr. Kunze's verdict stand Sears instituted a recall and retrofit program to install a lower blade guard on the saws previously sold without a lower blade guard.
