    Secured summary judgment on behalf of a leading global manufacturer of anesthetic infusing pain pumps. Plaintiff, a former horse jockey who received a pain pump following shoulder replacement surgery, brought claims in strict liability, negligence, breach of express and implied warranties, misrepresentation, and fraud. Plaintiff further alleged that the defendant manufacturer failed to warn of the pain pump’s dangerousness in either a negligent or fraudulent manner. Similar cases have resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts against pain pump manufacturers. In this case, however, the Court issued a 23 page Memorandum Opinion adopting all of Cozen O’Connor’s arguments, granting the defendant’s summary judgment motion, and dismissing all of plaintiff’s claims with prejudice.
