Bard Prohibited From Sealing IVC Filter Evidence Documents
Bard Prohibited From Sealing IVC Filter Evidence Documents
Introduction
On January 15, U.S. District Judge David Campbell of the District of Arizona, overseeing thousands of lawsuits involving C.R. Bard's IVC filter, denied the company's request to seal certain evidence documents.
The document in question was admitted into evidence in the last IVC filter trial but only partially disclosed. The judge ruled that the admission of the evidence suspended an earlier protective order even if not actually presented in the court. Bard faces more than 5,700 IVC filter lawsuits over complications such as filter migration, fracture or embolization related to blood clot filters, such as the Recovery, G2, Eclipse models, and many others.
Similar cases are consolidated as a part of multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2641; In Re: Bard IVC Filters Products Liability Litigation) for coordinated pretrial proceedings, overlooked by Judge David G. Campbell, in the United States District Court District of Arizona.
