An Alabama judge refused Friday to dismiss a wrongful death suit filed against Merck by a woman who said its painkiller Vioxx caused her husband's death. But the judge will hold a hearing Tuesday on motions to postpone the scheduled start of the trial. Merck had argued that the Vioxx samples Cheryl Rogers claims killed her husband did not leave the company until six months after he died. But the judge said while there were discrepancies in Rogers' testimony, they did not "merit a dismissal of her claim."
