Product Liability & Mass Torts

About

Provided by Goldman Ismail Tomaselli Brennan & Baum LLP

We have defended major pharmaceutical, chemical, and medical-device companies in some of the most significant products liability litigation in the past decade. In both mass tort and stand-alone cases, Goldman Ismail lawyers serve our clients in a variety of ways, including as lead national counsel, coordinating counsel, science and expert team leads, and trial counsel. We apply our scientific and technical expertise to develop a simple theory of the case and present a clear and persuasive defense to a judge or jury.

Representative matters include:

• Roundup Litigation: The firm represents Bayer and Monsanto in state and federal products liability litigation related to Roundup® herbicide, both as trial counsel and in expert witness development.
• Magnevist Litigation: Goldman Ismail serves as lead counsel for Bayer in numerous products liability cases involving Magnevist®, a contrast dye used in MRI scans. The firm successfully opposed MDL consolidation in cases alleging Gadolinium Deposition Diseases and won key Daubert victories in the first court to consider such challenges.
• Mirena IUD Litigation: As lead national counsel for Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc. in two separate mass tort litigations concerning Mirena®, an intrauterine device, Goldman Ismail twice procured major Daubert and summary judgment victories that led to dismissals of thousands of cases.
