S.V. GOPALRATNAM, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY, et al., Defendants-Appellees., 877 F.3d 771

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-The district court did not abuse its discretion in excluding the testimony of the parents' experts because the first expert's opinions were unreliable, as their underlying bases were improperly based on speculation and unfounded inferences, and there was no rational connection between his data and his opinion; the second expert's conclusions were based on the first expert's unreliable methodology; [2]-Without the experts' causation theories, the parents could not prove that one of products at issue caused the fire.
