Description

RABINOWITZ, Chief Justice. Opinion. This appeal arises out of the voluntary dismissal of a medical malpractice and products liability case which was filed in superior court on February 9, 1977, by Barbara Anne Farrell, a minor, by and through her natural mother, Janice F. Farrell, and also by her parents, Janice F. and Thomas A. Farrell, Jr. The suit named as defendants three physicians and eleven corporations which manufacture and disseminate drugs in Alaska. The complaint essentially alleged that one or more of the defendants negligently ordered X-rays made of Janice Farrells entire pelvic region during her pregnancy, or negligently prescribed or manufactured certain drugs taken by Janice while she was pregnant, which caused chromosome breakage in the unborn fetus and resulted in Barbara Farrell being born with certain serious physical and mental defects.
