• absence of studies, tests, or experiments performed by expert to validate expert's opinion fails to satisfy the reliability standard outlined in Daubert
• “To prove proximate causation for medical conditions or illnesses allegedly caused by a defective product, a plaintiff must show by a reasonable degree of medical certainty that the disease or injury was caused by the defective product.”
• methodology insufficiently reliable when it consisted of a review of “photographs, a visual inspection which included no testing, no 19 inquiry into failure rates, no knowledge of the Device's manufacturing process and no explanation for the alleged defect.”
