Mid-America Tablewares, Inc. v. Mogi Trading Co., Ltd.; (7th Cir., 1996); CB 90 n. 4; Notes 11
- Facts: P contracted with D, Japanese mfr, for dinnerware. Contract contained detailed provisions about the lead composition of the glaze so that it would comply w/ American regulations. D failed to comply, couldn’t be sold in US. P had never sold dinnerware before. P sought lost profits.
- Holding: D claimed that the only way to know with absolute certainty whether the dinnerware would have been successful in the marketplace would be if the line actually made it to shelves – Court says that the law does not require this sort of certainty.
