The state Supreme Court has rejected the request of a pharmaceutical manufacturer to exercise its jurisdiction over whether Pennsylvania is the most convenient forum for several drug products liability cases brought by out-of-state plaintiffs in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.
The Supreme Court rejected the request without comment in orders issued late in the business day Wednesday. The orders were entered in nine cases in which the plaintiffs allege that taking drugmaker Bayer’s Yaz and Yasmin birth control pills caused their injuries.
