Supreme Court of Connecticut
Glover v. Bausch & Lomb, Inc.
June 7, 2022343 Conn. 513
Summary
The court answered both certified questions in the affirmative. It held that the Connecticut Product Liability Act can support a failure-to-warn claim based on a manufacturer's untimely reporting of adverse events to the FDA and failure to comply with postapproval requirements when those omissions foreseeably contributed to injury. It also held that the Act's exclusivity provision bars a CUTPA claim seeking personal-injury damages caused by unscrupulous marketing of an allegedly defective product.
