Representative Cases

  • Wyche represented a manufacturer of birth-control pills in a birth defects case. The case was fought over several years, involving extensive discovery and use of expert witnesses. Ultimately, after the court’s revocation of the pro hac vice admission of plaintiffs’ out-of-state counsel, we obtained a favorable settlement for our client.
  • For many years, until the sale of the company, we coordinated all product liability claims against a major manufacturer of exercise and fitness equipment. Every case was resolved without trial and, in the overwhelming majority of cases, without payment to the plaintiff.
  • A national electrical receptacle manufacturer was sued in a statewide class action for increased risk of harm to homeowners for the alleged faulty design of back-wire, push-in receptacles. The manufacturer hired Wyche to defend the suit in the MDL in the District of South Carolina. After remand to state court, we secured a dismissal on the merits, based on the absence of injury. That dismissal is currently on appeal to the state court of appeals.
  • We have represented a major tire manufacturer in appeals of discovery orders in products liability cases that would require it to disclose its secret formulas.
  • Wyche succeeded in disqualifying a purported expert witness under Daubert in a product liability case, resulting in summary judgment for the manufacturer.
