Miller v. Pfizer Inc
Parents sued manufacturer of antidepressant medication, alleging that medication caused their 13-year-old son to commit suicide, and asserting claims under Kansas Products Liability Act (KPLA) for strict liability for marketing defects and misrepresentations, and negligence for failure to test and to warn. On manufacturer's motion to exclude parents' expert witness, the U.S. District Court of Kansas issued summary judgment in favor of the manufacturer, holding that: (1) expert's opinion on general causation did not satisfy
Daubert requirements, and (2) expert's opinion on specific causation did not satisfy requirements of rules of evidence.
