O’Reilly Auto Parts and Wilmar Corp., an air compressor manufacturer, were sued in Madison County on October 19th by Robert Earon. Earon claimed to suffer excruciatingly painful, permanent injuries as well as mental anguish, disfigurity and disablement from the product he used and is seeking an excess of $75,000 from the companies. He said the threads on a spring compressor were stripped and could contain pressure, therefore defectively designed.
