Becton Buyers Defend Revived Antitrust Suit
Law360 (January 11, 2021, 1:28 PM EST) Health care providers urged an Illinois federal court not to toss their revived antitrust claims against Becton Dickinson & Co., saying calls from the medical equipment giant to again dismiss the case from Marion HealthCare LLC and Marion Diagnostic Center LLC misrepresented the Seventh Circuit s directions.
Marion HealthCare and Marion Diagnostic Center told the court in a Friday filing that their amended complaint, which claimed Becton conspired with others to inflate syringe and catheter prices to jaw-dropping levels, was in line with what the Seventh Circuit demanded of them when it revived their case in March 2020.
