Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant-manufacturer’s motion for summary judgment in strict product liability action alleging that defect in defendant’s contact lenses caused plaintiff to sustain injury to his eyes. Crux of plaintiff’s defect evidence came in form of recall of plaintiff’s lenses, yet plaintiff could not establish that his lenses were defective, where instant recall did not cover type of lenses that plaintiff purchased. Fact that plaintiff’s lenses were made in same facility as lenses that were subject to instant recall did not require different result.
