The U.S. Federal Judge David G. Campbell, overseeing thousands of IVC Filter lawsuits centralized in the United States District Court District of Arizona, released a Case Management Order on April 18, allowing the plaintiff to present evidence of complications, testing, and design of the Recovery filter stating it would not result in a waste of time or confusion except. At the same time, evidence that highlighted the deaths caused by cephalad migration of the Recovery filter was not allowed to be part of the supporting evidence.
This is the second Bard IVC filter lawsuit scheduled for a May 15, 2018, trial, filed by a plaintiff from Georgia, who was implanted with C.R. Bard’s Eclipse blood clot filter in 2010 to treat her recurrent deep vein thrombosis condition. A pretrial conference is scheduled for May 4 and the expected trial run is 3 weeks.
