    Holding that “unsafe features in [the d]efendant's plant do not give rise to an inference [of] reckless[ness]” when the plaintiff did not provide any additional evidence “to show that the safety problems arose from or reflected a reckless indifference, a culpable mind, actual malice, a conscious disregard for workers' safety, or that [the d]efendant simply disregarded applicable safety features”

    Jury instructions not objected to become the law of the case. Gutierrez v. Albertsons, Inc., 113 N.M. 256, 259 n. 1, 824 P.2d 1058, 1061 n. 1 (Ct.App. 1991). Consequently, we hold that Defendant failed to preserve the argument it now makes on appeal.
