   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3658
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Products liability. In an action alleging plaintiff 
   contracted the lung disease bronchiolitis obliterans as a result of his 
   inhalation of the chemical diacetyl through his daily consumption of 
   butter flavor popcorn, the district court did not err in denying 
   plaintiff's motion for a new trial after the jury returned a verdict for 
   the manufacturer; the district court's curative instruction after it 
   struck the testimony of one of defendant's experts was not objected to, 
   and plaintiffs failed to show, in the absence of an objection, that the 
   instruction was plain error; the district court did not err in denying the 
   plaintiffs' request for an evidentiary hearing on the issue of whether the 
   jury considered the stricken testimony; the district court did not plainly 
   error in striking only a portion of another defense witness's testimony 
   as, again, plaintiffs failed to object to the court's ruling and the court 
   gave a thorough and prompt curative instruction; plaintiffs failed to show 
   the verdict was against the great weight of the evidence; no error in 
   denying plaintiffs' motion for judgment as a matter of law.
