   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2518
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Kobes, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Products liability. Plaintiffs brought this putative class action alleging a design defect caused their Polaris off-road vehicles to produce excessive heat; 7 of the 14 plaintiffs experienced fires which destroyed their vehicles; the district court dismissed the claims of the 7 plaintiffs whose vehicles had not caught fire, concluding they had failed to allege an injury in fact as required to establish an Article III case or controversy, and these 7 non-fire plaintiffs appeal. The district court correctly applied Eighth Circuit precedent in determining that the no-fire purchasers failed to allege an injury sufficient to confer standing.
