HARRISBURG – The manufacturer of a vacuum panel denies it is responsible for the injuries suffered by a construction worker in Northeastern Pennsylvania, when he was hit with a falling metal panel from a vacuum panel lifter on his job site.
Greg Ristenbatt of Palmyra initially filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on Sept. 9 versus Western Glass Supply, Inc. of Denver, Colo. and Wood’s Powr-Grip Co., Inc. of Laurel, Mont.
“Mr. Ristenbatt was an employee of Rose Metal Systems, Inc. As a part of his job duties for Rose Metal, Ristenbatt worked at a construction project located at 401 York Avenue, Duryea, Pennsylvania. On or about April 18, 2019, while at the job site, Rose Metal personnel used a vacuum panel lifter, model PCFS10T04DC2, manufactured by WPG and sold to Rose Metal by Western Glass to lift a metal panel,” the suit stated.
