DEFENDANT MANUFACTURERS AND RELATED COMPANIES The allegations of this paragraph do not pertain to answering Defendant and therefore no responsive pleading is required. DEFENDANT HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS Admitted that Plaintiffs have so alleged. of the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and therefore fails to state a cause of action upon which punitive damages can be awarded. Plaintiffs' Complaint, to the extent that it seeks punitive damages, violates the Defendant's rights to protection from "excessive fines" as provided in the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitutional and Article I, Section 13 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and violates Defendant's rights to procedural and substantive due process as provided in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and therefore fails to state a cause of action supporting the punitive damages claimed. Plaintiffs have failed to state a cause of action upon which relief can be granted, 4. Nothing done or omitted to be done by answering Defendant or its agents, servants or employees was the proximate cause of any harm to Plaintiffs. 5. Plaintiffs' injuries, or some of them, were not proximately caused by implantation of the breast implants and/or their removal. 6. Plaintiffs' injuries may have been caused by third persons or parties over whom answering Defendant exercised no control nor right of control. 7. Defendant incorporates by reference those affirmative defenses set forth in Case Management Order No. 8. 8. If Plaintiffs have in the past or do in the future, settle some or all of their claims with third parties, the terms and provisions of the release of said claims is a bar CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE AND NOW, this //¢_~ day of ~ 1995, I, MICHAEL D.
