Civil Procedure
Jury instructions; peremptory strikes

Steven Thomas sued various paint manufacturers, alleging that childhood exposure to white lead carbonate found in their products caused injury to his brain. A jury returned a verdict in favor of the Manufacturers. Thomas contends he is entitled to a new trial because of flaws in the verdict form, the improper use of peremptory strikes to remove two potential jurors, and the improper admission of evidence. We disagree and affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
