• noting that evidence of subsequent design changes is admissible in Federal courts to demonstrate feasibility of alternative designs if feasibility is controverted
• explaining that, under Rule 407, “where a defendant argues about the trade- offs involved in taking precautionary measures, it is not placing feasibility in issue”
• finding that the lower court’s admission of evidence that should have been barred by Rule 407 “was prejudicial error that requires a new trial”
