1Opinion of the Court
Beasley, Chief Judge.
Snead sued Snap-On Tools Corporation in products liability and CSX Transportation, Inc. under the Federal Employer’s Liability Act (“FELA”), 45 USC § 51 et seq. Judgment after a jury trial was for $1,000,000 in damages exclusive of medical expenses, as to which defendants were jointly liable, and $250,000 for medical expenses, for which Snap-On alone was liable. This is CSX’s appeal; the appeals of Snap-On (Court of Appeals Case No. A95A1359) and of Snead as to Snap-On only (Court of Appeals Case No. A95A1361) have been withdrawn.
