Claims Against C.R. Bard Snipped By an Arizona Federal Judge

Introduction

U.S. District Judge David G. Campbell recently trimmed claims by a plaintiff against C.R. Bard that the inadequate warnings for the G2X Blood vessel filter caused her complications. The federal judge stated that the plaintiff failed to prove that inadequate warnings were provided by the defendant to prevent the doctor from using the filter.

C.R. Bard's G2 Series of IVC Filter has been reported to break easily and migrate into the body, perforating blood vessels and other organs. The manufacturer faces more than 3,800 lawsuits over severe internal injuries caused due to the device breakage. Multidistrict litigation (MDL No.2641; In Re: Bard IVC Filters Products Liability Litigation) was formed on August 17, 2015, in the United States District Court District of Arizona, presided over by Judge David G. Campbell for centralized pretrial proceedings.
