CONCURRING AND DISSENTING OPINION BY
PLATT, J.I concur in part and respectfully dissent in part from the decision of the learned Majority, for the reasons already noted more fully in my concurrence and dissent in the companion case of Hassett v. Dafoe, No. 81 EDA 2012.
In my view, the trial court erred in overruling the preliminary objections, because all of the supposed “carve out” claims still rest on, or derive from, failure-to-warn claims. The clear teaching of PLIVA, Inc. v. Mensing, — U.S. -, 181 S.Ct. 2567, 180 L.Ed.2d 580 (2011) and Mutual Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. v. Bartlett, — U.S. -, 133 S.Ct. 2466, 186 L.Ed.2d 607 (2013) is that failure-to-warn claims are preempted under the Supremacy Clause because it is impossible to comply with both the assumed state-law based duties to warn and the federal regulatory scheme for generic drug manufacturers.
Similarly, in my opinion, the learned Majority errs in concluding that it is possible to comply with the federal duty of sameness and various assumed (but vaguely defined) state-based duties to warn. The Majority finds merit in Appellee’s asserted “viable method of compliance with a state law duty that does not conflict with federal law,” (Majority, at 94), but in my reading never spells out what that assumed viable method is. Instead, the Majority cites Appellee’s allegations at length, and then concludes generically that his position has merit. (See id.). I do not.
“[P]re-emption analysis should not involve speculation about ways in which federal agency and third-party actions could potentially reconcile federal duties with conflicting state duties. When the ‘ordinary meaning’ of federal law blocks a private party from independently accomplishing what state law requires, that party has established pre-emption.” Mensing, supra at 2580 (internal quotation marks in original).
“It is fundamental that by virtue of the Supremacy Clause, the State courts are bound by the decisions of the Supreme *97Court with respect to the federal Constitution and bound by the decisions of the Supreme Court with respect to the federal Constitution and federal law, and must adhere to extant Supreme Court jurisprudence.” U.S. Const, art. VI, cl.2; Chesapeake & O. Ry. Co. v. Martin, 283 U.S. 209, 221, 51 S.Ct. 453, 75 L.Ed. 983 (1931). (“The determination by this [Cjourt of [a federal] question is binding upon the state courts, and must be followed, any state law, decision, or rule to the contrary notwithstanding.”); Commonwealth v. Ware, 446 Pa. 52, 284 A.2d 700, 702 (1971) (“[A] state court is not free to ignore the dictates of the United States Supreme Court on federal constitutional matters because of its own conclusion that those dictates are ‘ill-considered.’ ”).

Accordingly, I concur in part and dissent in part.
