This case consolidates the appeals of Ben Jones (Jones) (No. 90-7755) and John Issac, Harvey Echols, Jim Thorton, Sherman Jones, and Henry Washington (Interve-nors) (No. 90-7499) from discovery, class certification, and summary judgment orders, and from trial verdicts in favor of defendant Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.

We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.
