   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1192
                          and No:  14-1194
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Kelly, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Insurance. Where the plaintiff manufacturer voluntarily recalled some of its sandwich products because their labeling failed to disclose the presence of MSG, the manufacturer bore the burden under the insurance policy in question of proving that consuming the mislabeled sandwiches may likely result in physical symptoms of bodily injury, sickness or disease, and on the record before it, the district court erred in granting partial summary judgment for the manufacturer on the coverage issue; on remand, unless the district court determines that summary judgment is appropriate on the full trial record, the coverage issue must be submitted to a jury; the district court did not err in denying the insurer's motion for judgment as a matter of law on the manufacturer's claim for lost profits; there was no clear error in denying the manufacturer's request for an award of attorney's fees under South Dakota Codified Law Section 58-12-3 which allows recovery of attorneys' fees in cases where the insurer has vexatiously or without reasonable cause refused to pay the full amount of the loss.
