Bradshaw’s principal contention is that the trial court erred in its denial of the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. He claims that every element to prove a cause of action in strict liability was established without dispute. The record indicates otherwise. The testimony was substantially in conflict as to whether the product was defective or was used in its intended manner. Also, to be resolved by the jury were certain intervening factors that involved the presence of assumed risk. Such are ingredients of strict liability and they were all in dispute. General Electric Co. v. Bush, supra; Worrell v. Barnes, 87 Nev. 204, 484 P.2d 573 (1971). With all these conflicts the jury’s function had to be served.
