Moebius v. General Motors Corp

In Moebius v. General Motors Corp., Montgomery App. No. 19147, 2002 Ohio 3918, the Court determined that "it is arguable that when this safety device was altered to stop after a five-second delay, injury would be substantially certain to occur to those employees who were not educated and trained on the presence of this delay". Moebius placed her hand into a machine that did not stop running as it had in the past, due to the newly instituted delay, of which Moebius was unaware. Moebius' injury occurred immediately, the first time she placed her hand into the machine after her employer added the delay, confirming her injury's substantial certainty. Finally, Moebius' employer added the delay to increase production, while a Paygro employee deactivated the alarm because it annoyed him.
