COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A federal judge in Ohio has scheduled a Nov. 2 trial in a lawsuit brought by the widow of Minnesota Vikings lineman Korey Stringer.
Kelci Stringer is suing football helmets and shoulder pads maker Riddell Inc. over her husband's 2001 heatstroke death at training camp. U.S. District Judge John Holschuh set the trial date Monday in Columbus.
Three days earlier, Holschuh ruled that Riddell gear should include heat warnings. But he dismissed Kelci Stringer's claim that there were design problems.
The trial will determine whether Chicago-based Riddell bears any responsibility for Korey Stringer's death.
The company contends a warning notice would not have kept Stringer from practicing.
His widow settled earlier with the NFL, which pledged to support heat illness prevention.
