Input (English): claiming that all of Oja’s state law claims were preempted by the MDA. The district court denied Howmedica’s motion and its motion for reconsideration. At the close of the evidence, Howmedica moved for a directed verdict on all of Oja’s state law claims based on MDA preemption. The district court denied the motion. After the jury returned its verdict, Howmedica renewed its motion for judgment as a matter of law, arguing only that the MDA preempted Oja’s negligent failure to warn claim.
