Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Manufacturers], however, fail to distinguish ordinary burning from the hot, rapid, smoky burning of which [the school district] presented evidence. This is a different, more serious, and more unexpected danger than that posed by ordinary flammable items. Such a danger is not obvious, and while [the school district] admitted knowing that [the mats] might burn, it indicated no knowledge of the speed or intensity with which they burned.”
