   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3357
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Wollman, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Products liability. Reasonable minds could differ over 
   whether the regenerative thermal oxidizer manufactured by defendant was 
   defective and plaintiff submitted sufficient evidence of a defective 
   design to survive summary judgment; reasonable minds could disagree on 
   whether defendant could foresee that a user would view the "suggested" 
   maintenance on the device as mandatory or would ignore it due to the 
   effort required, and defendant was not entitled to summary judgment on the 
   issue of proximate causation; the district court did not err, however, in 
   granting defendant summary judgment on plaintiff's failure-to-warn claim 
   as there was no evidence additional warnings would have changed 
   plaintiff's behavior.
