OPINION
JANE BRANSTETTER STRANCH, Circuit Judge.
Charolette Payne and her husband sued Novartis for failing to warn her doctor that two of the drugs it manufactures, Aredia and Zometa, could cause serious damage to a patient’s jaw bones. Payne took both and subsequently had to have part of her jaw removed. Under Tennessee law, the question of whether Novartis’s failure to warn was a cause of Payne’s injuries is for a jury to determine. We therefore REVERSE the district court’s grant of summary judgment for Novartis.
