CHURCHILL, District Judge.
Defendant Union Carbide appeals from the decision of the district court affirming the jury verdict for the Plaintiff, Larry R. Williams. Williams claimed to have been injured through exposure to toxic chemicals while working at Union Carbide’s Osceola, Arkansas plant in 1976. The matter was tried under Arkansas law and the jury awarded Williams $80,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages. Union Carbide’s subsequent motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and for new trial was denied and this appeal followed.
