Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the employee's claim for work-related injury compensation regarding a torn surgical implant.

The court ruled that the failure of the implant was a product defect rather than an accidental event during work, thus excluding it from work injury coverage.
