Apgar v. Lederle Laboratories

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding claim time-barred where plaintiff knew her teeth had been discolored and, based on information from several dentists, surmised that the medication that she had taken as a child had caused the staining
• rejecting plaintiffs argument that the statute of limitations did not begin to run until she learned the identities of the manufacturers of the drugs which had allegedly permanently discolored her teeth
• “That the identity of a potential defendant is not a requirement for commencing an action is now beyond argument. In Viviano ..., we made it clear that a plaintiff can file a complaint naming “John Doe” defendants if the actual identity of the wrongdoer is unknown.”
