We posted last week about In re Valsartan, Losartan, & Irbesartan Products Liability Litigation, 2020 WL 7418006 (D.N.J. Dec. 18, 2020), a decision that came in just time to take a sport on our Worst of 2020 post. Just as we were
Sometimes it can be easy to believe that a random thought can conjure a real-life response.

Dear Readers,
The tone of today’s missive may be slightly more formal than most. For you see, as a result of binge watching Bridgerton on Netflix, the written word is being narrated in our head by the incomparable Julie Andrews. We so greatly esteem
It’s crunch time people. No more browsing. No more pondering. No more scrolling. Pick something and buy it. More importantly, you need to ship it. You may not be able to see all of your family this year, but you still want to make sure your gift makes it under their tree. If so, today

If this were a blog about cars, computers, or almost anything with a motor or engine that can be enhanced for speed – user modifications would be a central theme. In the drug and
It’s not exactly Groundhog Day, but we are sticking with personal jurisdiction. Today we’re sliding two states over to Missouri. Gateway to the West. Home to Maya Angelou, Mark Twain, Dick Van Dyke, and John Goodman. Birthplace of the waffle cone and home to the largest beer producing plant in the country. Unlike Indiana, Missouri
We have expressed our opinion on “failure to update” claims and have not hidden that we don’t think much of them. Failure to update claims were manufactured by plaintiffs in response to PLIVA, Inc. v. Mensing, 564 U.S. 604 (2011) and Mutual Pharm. Co. v. Bartlett, 570 U.S. 472 (2013) which basically
