Course Overview

One FDA enforcement record now feeds two lawsuits—if your pleading survives preemption

2026-08-25 13:00:00

This is not the familiar device case. In March 2025, FDA issued Warning Letter MARCS-CMS 700835 to Dexcom. Class I Recall Notices followed in June 2025 and October 2025. Read together, they form a unified evidentiary package — one record supporting two distinct litigation tracks, with 2026 updates.

The stakes are already set. Plead a state claim that adds to federal requirements, and 21 U.S.C. § 360k(a) preempts it. Plead fraud on the agency, and Buckman bars it. Miss the recall serial-number match, and causation collapses. Ignore TransUnion, and the no-injury refund class loses standing.

You walk out with practitioner work product. An intake workflow built on FDA MAUDE adverse event data for Dexcom G6, G7, and Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors. A parallel-claim pleading framework. Class certification strategy under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(3) and the consumer-protection statutory framework across California, New York, and Florida. Plus a working map of labeling, cGMP, and enforcement-discretion issues reshaping manufacturer liability.

Key topics that will be covered

01
Unified FDA Evidence
How the March 2025 FDA Warning Letter (MARCS-CMS 700835) and the June 2025 and October 2025 Class I Recall Notices work as one evidentiary package for injury and refund claims alike.

Surviving Preemption
Pleading parallel claims that clear express preemption under 21 U.S.C. § 360k(a) and implied preemption under Buckman.
04
The Consumer Refund Pivot
Converting the FDA record into class certification under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(3), Article III standing after TransUnion, and consumer-protection claims across California, New York, and Florida.
05
Regulatory Hooks for Liability
How labeling decisions, cGMP regulation violations, warning letters and recalls, and clinical trial regulations drive current medical device litigation.

Dexcom CGM Litigation: Personal Injury, Consumer Class Actions, and Preemption Strategy

This session teaches attorneys how to read the March 2025 FDA Warning Letter to Dexcom (MARCS-CMS 700835) and the June 2025 and October 2025 Class I Recall Notices as a unified evidentiary package supporting both individual CGM personal injury claims and no-injury consumer refund class actions. This will also include 2026 updates. Attorneys will learn the intake workflow for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia injury cases using FDA MAUDE adverse event data and recall serial-number matching for Dexcom G6, G7, and Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors, and will master the parallel-claim pleading framework required to survive express preemption under 21 U.S.C. § 360k(a) and implied preemption under Buckman. Attendees will leave with practical tools for pleading, class certification strategy under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(3), Article III standing after TransUnion, and the consumer-protection statutory framework across California, New York, and Florida.

 

This session examines how FDA warning letters and recall notices can be used together as key evidence, while exploring effective plaintiff intake strategies through MAUDE database searches, recall matching, preemption challenges, parallel-claim pleading, and leveraging FDA records to support consumer refund class actions.

Current and Emerging Issues in Medical Device Litigation

This session examines recent developments and emerging issues in medical device litigation, with a particular focus on the role of FDA regulatory processes in shaping litigation strategy and case outcomes. Participants will explore how FDA oversight influences liability through labeling decisions, current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulation violations, warning letters, product recalls, and clinical trial regulations. The session will also examine how FDA pilot programs and enforcement discretion decisions may expand or limit potential liability for manufacturers, providing insight into the evolving regulatory landscape and its impact on medical device litigation.
