ROYER V. CATHOLIC MEDICAL CENTER
741 A.2d 74 (1999)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a products liability action. Royer (P) appealed from an
order, which granted Medical's (D) motion to dismiss P's claim for strict liability and P's
wife's claim for loss of consortium.
FACTS: P underwent a total knee replacement at Catholic Medical Center (D) and a
prosthetic knee was surgically implanted. D provided the prosthetic. P complained of pain
after the operation and it was discovered that the prosthetic was defective. P underwent a
second operation and then sued under strict liability as D had sold him a prosthesis with a
design defect that was in an unreasonably dangerous condition. D moved to dismiss the suit;
it was not a seller of goods under strict products liability. D was granted its motion and P
appealed.
