1Opinion of the Court
DUHÉ, Circuit Judge.
We are asked, in this appeal, to find error in the district court’s refusal to grant a directed verdict or judgment notwithstanding the verdict because (1) a proper risk-utility analysis was not conducted, and (2) prior notice of a risk was never proven. Alternatively, we are asked to grant appellant a new trial because of procedural failings and evidentiary deficiencies. Additionally, intervenor appeals the district court’s refusal to allow it the recovery of weekly compensation benefits paid out. We affirm.
