In its ninth season, 495 ensured Loyola Mock Trial's first back-to-back National Championship Tournament appearance. The Championship result remains the best in Loyola's history. The civil case was Davis v. HappyLand Toy Company. Joey Davis, a young child, swallowed several dozen beads from his older sister’s make-your-own jewelry set. His babysitter found him lying on the carpet minutes later and hurried him to the hospital. The boy died shortly after. Tests revealed that the beads he swallowed contained 1,4-butanediol, a precursor for a controlled substance called gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (“GHB”). The boy’s parent has brought a civil lawsuit for negligence and strict liability against the toy company that designed and manufactured the jewelry set that allegedly caused the boy’s death.
