A federal judge in Michigan tossed a whistleblower lawsuit against Stryker Corp. (NYSE:SYK) that accused the company of a kickbacks scheme, but gave the plaintiffs a window to amend their complaint.
Judge Robert Jonker of the U.S. District Court for Western Michigan ruled that Robert Laucirica and the U.S. government failed to prove their contention that Stryker sales reps initiated a kickbacks scheme with Dr. Hari Parvataneni, an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital.
