   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1809
                          and No:  11-1815
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Products liability. In action alleging plaintiffs developed breast cancer as a result of taking Prempro, a hormone therapy drug manufactured by defendant, the district court erred in granting defendant's motion to preclude plaintiffs' expert's testimony regarding the relation between short-term use of the drug and the risk of cancer; the testimony was admissible because the studies the expert relied on were sufficient to support his opinion that short-term use of the drug increases the risk of breast cancer; grant of defendant's motion for summary judgment reversed and case remanded for further proceedings. Judge Loken, dissenting.
