Suit Against Name Brand Manufacturers Dismissed With Prejudice

TAMPA, Fla. - A Florida federal judge has adopted a magistrate judge's recommendation that a suit brought against name brand drug makers by a man who alleges that his tardive dyskinesia was caused by the generic form of Reglan be dismissed with prejudice because the plaintiff did not ingest the drugs manufactured by the defendants. Levine v. Wyeth, No. 09-854-T-33 (M.D. Fla.).

In a Feb. 10 order, Judge Virginia M. Covington of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida adopted Magistrate Judge Anthony E. Porcelli's findings that the defendants owed no duty to the plaintiff.
