   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1361
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Wollman and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Products liability. Plaintiff brought this products liability 
   action against the manufacturer of the intrauterine device which which 
   broke in her uterus, and the district court granted the manufacturer's 
   motion for summary judgment. Held: under Nebraska law, the manufacturer 
   did not have a duty to warn plaintiff directly about the potential risks 
   of using the device and the district court properly granted the 
   manufacturer's motion for summary judgment; in this situation, Nebraska 
   would apply the learned-intermediary doctrine, and there is no dispute 
   that the manufacturer provided adequate warnings to plaintiff's physician; 
   Nebraska would not apply an exception to the doctrine for prescription 
   contraceptives, including IUDs. Judge Kelly, dissenting.
