   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil Case - products liability. District court's grant of 
   summary judgment is reversed. District court erred in 
   invoking the doctrine of judicial estoppel and construing 
   a motion for an order to show cause as a motion for 
   summary judgment. Appellants were deprived of the 
   opportunity to present evidence of causation.
