                          and No:  18-3580
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Kelly and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Bair Hugger Forced Air Warming Devices Products Liability 
   Litigation. The district court did not abuse its discretion in excluding 
   evidence of 3M's knowledge of the risk and utility of the Bair Hudgger 
   device at the time the device used in plaintiff's surgery left 3M's 
   control; the district court did not abuse its discretion by excluding 
   evidence of reasonable design alternatives to the Bair Hugger besides a 
   product called TableGard; the district court did not abuse its discretion 
   in admitting evidence from 3M's expert concerning operating room air-flow; 
   the district court did not err in granting 3M summary judgment on 
   plaintiffs' failure-to-warn claim asserted under both negligence and 
   strict-liability theories.
