While on vacation at a beach resort, Ronald placed his fifteen-month-old son in a playpen then left the room for a few minutes.When he returned, the child was lifeless.Ronald called 911, but efforts to revive his son failed. An examination revealed that a toy block had lodged in the boy's throat, causing him to choke. The block was part of a play set manufactured by Funtime Toys. There was no warning on the box containing the toy blocks stating that it posed a choking hazard. Ronald sues Funtime Toys for $1,000,000 for the wrongful death of his son, alleging that the company was negligent for failing to warn of the choking hazard (in essence, a product liability suit based on negligence). Funtime Toys files a motion for summary judgment, claiming that the danger of a young child choking on a small block was obvious and no warning was necessary
