1Opinion of the Court
WISDOM, Circuit Judge:
Mary Kathryn Thomas sued Hoffman-LaRoche, Inc., the manufacturer of a prescription acne medication called Accutane, under a failure to warn theory 1 for injuries she sustained allegedly as a result of taking Accutane. The district court granted Hoffman-LaRoche’s post-trial motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, setting aside a jury award of one million dollars. The district court held that Thomas had failed to introduce sufficient evidence to show that the allegedly inadequate warning caused her injury. 731 F.Supp. 224. We AFFIRM.
