1Opinion of the Court

JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:

Contending that she contracted a rare autoimmune disease from being injected with defendant Collagen Corporation’s (“Collagen”) products, Jennifer Stamps filed suit to recover damages in state court, alleging causes of action based upon defective design, inadequate warnings, and negligent failure to warn. Collagen timely removed and thereafter moved for summary judgment. The district court found all of Stamps’s state law claims to be preempted by federal law and granted summary judgment. We affirm.
