Florida Federal Court Dismisses Medical Monitoring Claims Against Philip Morris USA
hilip Morris USA (PM USA) said that a federal judge in Florida yesterday dismissed a medical monitoring class action case because plaintiffs failed to allege a legally proper claim for medical monitoring.
"This is the third federal court this year to correctly reject smokers' medical monitoring claims," said Murray Garnick, Altria Client Services senior vice president and associate general counsel, speaking on behalf of PM USA. "Federal and state judges across the country have rejected medical monitoring claims on a variety of grounds, and we are pleased with the judge's sound reasoning today."
While the court allowed plaintiffs to re-file the complaint, it said "This may prove to be a difficult task. Absent allegations that individuals who have smoked non-defective Marlboro cheap cigarettes for twenty-pack years would not have suffered the same injury as Gargano, the Second Amended Complaint will fare no better than the First."
The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida joins federal courts in New York and California in rejecting medical monitoring claims this year. In addition to today's decision, 16 federal and state courts have rejected class certification in medical monitoring cases. At trial, discount cigarettes companies have won the medical monitoring claims in the two cases that have been certified as class actions.
