A worker, injured due to the failure of a machine part, sued the employer, arguing the employer was strictly liable for the inherent defectiveness of the machine, even though maintenance was performed. The court rejected the claim, reasoning that while an employer generally bears the burden of proof regarding safety, the worker failed to demonstrate that the accident was solely attributable to a latent or inherent vice of the machine, as the employer had proven diligent maintenance, shifting the burden back to the worker to establish the specific manufacturing or construction defect that caused the failure, which they did not do.
