Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Clemente, J.), entered June 8, 2005 in Sullivan County, upon a verdict rendered in favor of defendants.
In February 1995, plaintiff Vincent Alaimo (hereinafter plaintiff) was severely injured when his 1995 Chevrolet Blazer, manufactured by defendant General Motors Corporation (hereinafter defendant), went out of control and collided with a tree. Plaintiff contended that its airbag failed to properly deploy, thereby exacerbating his injuries. Plaintiff and his wife, derivatively, thereafter commenced this action sounding in products liability and breach of warranty. A jury unanimously concluded that the vehicle was not defective. Upon the dismissal of the complaint, plaintiffs appealed.
In addressing the assertion that the jury’s verdict is against the weight of the evidence, we must determine “whether the evidence so preponderate [d] in favor of the [plaintiffs] that [the verdict] could not have been reached on any fair interpretation *628of the evidence” (Lolik v Big V Supermarkets, 86 NY2d 744, 746 [1995] [citations and quotation marks omitted]). Proceeding under a “second collision” theory, plaintiffs contend that as a result of the primary collision into the tree, plaintiff suffered secondary impacts with the car’s interior (see generally Bolm v Triumph Corp., 33 NY2d 151, 156-159 [1973]; McEneaney v Haywood, 179 Misc 2d 1035, 1037 [1999]), thereby triggering defendant’s liability if the failure of the vehicle’s airbag to properly deploy is found to be an “unreasonably dangerous (latent) design defect[ ] which enhance[d] or aggravate[d] [his] injuries” (Bolm v Triumph Corp., supra at 158; see Collins v Caldor of Kingston, 73 AD2d 708, 709 [1979]). Plaintiffs proffered both plaintiffs own testimony and that of Anthony Leone, the first person to respond to the accident. The expert testimony of Erik Carlsson was also presented to support this theory.
Numerous defense experts thereafter testified about airbag design and function under these circumstances. One expert, Brian Everest, reviewed both the physical evidence and lay testimony proffered by plaintiffs to demonstrate that the airbag properly deployed. Thereafter, he specifically addressed each point raised by Carlsson to support his contrary conclusion. Everest emphasized that the entire process from commencement to deflation takes place over the span of about a tenth of a second, that the folds or creases in the airbag observed by plaintiffs’ expert remain after deployment and deflation, and that the amount of pressure necessary for the airbag to break through the steering wheel cover contradicted the slow deployment theory that plaintiffs proffered. Everest further explained that proper deployment does not necessarily result in burn marks at the airbag vents or significant powder residue in the air. He also explained how plaintiffs knee injury from contact with the dashboard could occur during proper deployment and opined that the data supplied by the airbag monitoring system fully comported with his opinion. Considering the totality of the evidence presented to the jury, Supreme Court properly determined that the verdict should not be set aside (see Lolik v Big V Supermarkets, supra at 746).
Nor do we find that plaintiffs’ generalized comments concerning the jury’s nonverbal postures, facial expressions, attitudes and comments warrant a reversal. As no motion was made to set aside the verdict or declare a mistrial upon this basis, our review is precluded (see Kraemer v Zimmerman, 249 AD2d 159, *629160 [1998]).* As to the specific complaints raised regarding particular jurors, the record reflects that one such juror was properly dismissed pursuant to CPLR 4106 (compare Mark v Colgate Univ., 53 AD2d 884, 885-886 [1976]) and another juror’s remarks prompted Supreme Court to counsel the jury on its function. Having reviewed and rejected all of the remaining contentions, which include allegations of unfairness by Supreme Court, also unpreserved for our review (see Matter of Aaron v Kavanagh, 304 AD2d 890, 891 [2003], lv denied 1 NY3d 502 [2003]), we affirm.
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
Had the issue been properly before us, we would have concluded, giving due deference to the broad discretion vested in the trial court over matters of this kind (see Mark v Colgate Univ., 53 AD2d 884, 885-886 [1976]), that there was no basis to disturb the determination rendered.
