1Opinion of the Court
ROSEN, District Judge.
This opinion consolidates the appeals of two actions filed against a common defendant — E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. (“Du Pont”) — involving similar product liability claims. The claims arose from Du Pont’s sale of materials used in an artificial cartilage replacement for the temporomandibular joint (“TMJ”), also known as the jaw joint, called the TMJ Interpositional Implant (“IPI”). The IPI was manufactured and distributed by Vitek, Inc., a now-bankrupt prosthesis manufacturer.
