U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-1308
and No: 18-1364
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Waterloo
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Kelly and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Products liability. The district court did not err in
determining that because defendant sold, but did not manufacture, design
or assemble the refrigerator which allegedly caused a loss, it is immune
from liability under Iowa Code Section 613.18; any design work defendant
may have performed on the refrigerator was not related in any way to the
components which caused the loss, and it had no liability for negligent
design under Section 613.18(1)(a).
