Abstract:
In a ruling issued on September 28, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that federal law preempted California consumer class action claims against the manufacturer of a contact lens cleaning solution because those claims would have required the manufacturer to conduct premarket testing beyond that required by the FDA. Degelmann v. Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., __ F.3d. __, 2011 WL 4470641 (9th Cir. Sept. 28, 2011).
