Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals 509 U.S. 579 (1993)
In the 1950s, drug manufacturer Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals developed a breakthrough pregnancy drug called Bendectin. Over 33 million women worldwide used Bendectin to soothe the symptoms of morning sickness. But a number of women taking Bendectin gave birth to children with severe deformities. Lawsuits brought by families who blamed Bendectin for the defects became so numerous and expensive that Merrell Dow took the drug off the market in 1983. Despite the allegations against Merrell Dow, it was never clear that Bendectin actually caused birth defects, even after the drug was taken off the shelves.
Jason Daubert and Eric Schuller were born with birth defects to mothers who took Bendectin. Their families brought a case against Merrell Dow that eventually reached the United States Supreme Court.
