Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals was a company that had a drug out on the market known as Bendectin. It was advertised as a medicine that would help expecting mothers with the morning sickness that came from their pregnancy. However, it was later found that taking this pill while someone was pregnant might cause problems for the baby upon birth because it might affect the child while it was developing in the womb. Daubert was one of those that were affected by the medicine. They claimed that the drug had caused their child to suffer from limb-reduction (Allen, 1994). The company had done many scientific tests on the medicine using animals before it had been placed on the market. They claimed that they never made a concrete link between Bendectin
