A. H. Robins Co. said a federal judge disallowed the Dalkon Shield health claims of 113,000 women because the claimants failed to meet a request for more information on the extent of their alleged injuries. U.S. District Judge Robert R. Merhige Jr., who filed the order invalidating the claims, said he would reinstate any claim if given adequate reason why a questionnaire from the court was not returned. After a worldwide notification program by the Richmond, Va.-based firm early last year, about 330,000 people filed claims on injuries allegedly caused by use of the intrauterine birth control device marketed by Robins in the early 1970s.
