133663P.pdf   12/02/2014  Shirley Brinkley  v.  Pliva, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-3663
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Products liability. The prescribing physician's exclusive 
   reliance on information from the brand-name drug manufacturers broke any 
   causal link between Pliva's failure to incorporate a 2004 label change and 
   the plaintiff's injury; federal law preempts any state law claim requiring 
   a generic drug manufacturer to design its drug, change its labeling or 
   leave the market to avoid liability under state law, and plaintiff's 
   design defect and implied warranty claims were properly dismissed.
