Medical devices; preemption of state product liability claims--FDA. Proposed rule.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations regarding preemption of State and local requirements applicable to medical devices. This action is being taken to clarify and codify the agency's longstanding position that available legal remedies, including State common law tort claims, generally are not preempted under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act).
