A brief summary of the facts include:

  • These consolidated appeals arise from a single jury trial.
  • Plaintiffs – residents of California – allege that the acne drug Accutane caused their development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and that defendant drug companies (Roche) failed to give an adequate warning of IBD as a potential side effect of their drug.
  • Roche appeals from a verdict of $2,125,617 in favor of plaintiff Gillian Gaghan, and plaintiffs Kelley Andrews and James David Greenblatt, who is also known as James David Marshall, appeal from the jury’s verdict in favor of Roche.
  • Having considered the record and the parties’ arguments, we reverse the verdict in favor of Gaghan and affirm the verdicts in favor of Roche.
