Won dismissals of eight cases in an MDL in which the plaintiffs alleged injuries after taking a generic version of the client’s brand-name drug; the court ruled against a theory of “innovator liability,” which would hold brand-name manufacturers liable for alleged injuries caused by generic versions of the drugs made by other pharmaceutical companies.” Jennifer Stevenson took the lead on this issue and argued two motions; the court’s first order dismissed five cases and the second order dismissed three cases.
