1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by Judge FERGUSON; Concurrence by Judge REINHARDT.
FERGUSON, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal, Charlotte and Robert Kennedy challenge the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant, Collagen Corporation (“Collagen”). The Kennedys contend that their state common law claims are not preempted by the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 (“the MDA”), 21 U.S.C. §§ 360c-3601 (Supp.1995), and that genuine issues of material fact remain in issue in their suit against Collagen. We reverse the district court and remand for trial.
