Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals Inc. succeeded in getting evidence from experts who linked its Mirena contraceptive with a condition that causes severe headaches tossed from court. Such testimony is almost always necessary in medical product cases. Bayer won a previous round of Mirena litigation because the plaintiffs didn’t have expert testimony linking the device to the harm alleged in that case.
