An Indianapolis jury awarded $3 million in the third bellwether case of allegedly defective intravenous blood filters manufactured by Cook Medical Inc.—one of two primary makers of the devices involved in multidistrict litigation.

The jury declined to award punitive damages to the plaintiff, 53-year-old Tonya Brand of Snellville, Georgia, following the monthlong trial.

It's the first time the Cook IVC has been found to be defective in the MDL. A jury found for the defense in 2017, and the second was dismissed on summary judgment last year after the court deemed it time-barred.
