Description

In this products liability action, appellant John Rye appeals the District Court's exclusion of evidence of prior injuries allegedly caused by circular saws manufactured by appellee Black & Decker similar to the saw which injured appellant. At trial, appellant claimed the saw was defectively designed in that it did not have a completely closing guard or a riving knife.*fn1 He also claimed appellee failed to give sufficient warning of the saw's kickback hazard. Because we find that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in excluding the prior accidents, after finding that they were not shown to be "substantially similar," and that no substantial right of appellant was affected, we affirm.
