December 31, 2015 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on the latest news regarding bellwether trials for lawsuits involved in Xarelto multidsitrict litigation number 2592. The MDL is being overseen in the Eastern District of Louisiana by Judge Eldon Fallon.

The Honorable Judge Fallon has ordered that starting the new year (2016) bellwether trial selections will begin from a pool of over 40 complaints containing similar allegations. Of this larger pool, only 4 cases will be chosen to be heard during bellwether trials. According to recent announcements, the first 2 of 4 cases will be heard in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, while the 3rd will be heard in Mississippi and the 4th in Texas. These bellwether trials are designed to give both defendants and plaintiffs an idea of how a jury may respond to future trials.

Dates for these bellwether trial cases have also been announced. The initial two cases are currently scheduled for February 6, 2017 and March 13, 2017, the 3rd case is scheduled to be heard on April 24th of 2017, and the final is scheduled for May 30, 2017. The cases involved in the MDL now number approximately 2,200, and similarly allege that blood thinning drug Xarelto can cause dangerous uncontrollable bleeding episodes in patients taking it.

Plaintiffs additionally allege that Xarelto manufacturers Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson), and Bayer AG were negligent to release an anticoagulant to the market with no corresponding antidote to accompany it. Despite the fact that Xarelto has now been on the market for over 4 years, the companies have yet to offer an antidote for patients.

Xarelto’s lack of antidote can turn even a small injury into a dangerous situation. When someone with Xarelto in their system begins to bleed, that blood is unable to clot. In these instances, the patient can quickly lose too much blood, and therefore would require life-saving treatments, such as blood transfusions or surgery.

Patients who use traditional blood thinners do not have this issue, as they have an antidote available through vitamin K. If someone taking a traditional blood thinner begins to bleed, physicians can make their blood clot by treating them with vitamin K. This can be a lifesaving difference in emergency situations.

Attorney Joseph Osborne understands the great risks surrounding Xarelto. He is currently working to ensure that everyone affected by the drug will have the opportunity to evaluate their legal rights. As cases prepare for trial, others will likely be able to join them. People who have suffered after using Xarelto may be entitled to legal action and significant compensation. Attorney Osborne is offering free legal consultations for affected individuals at this time.

December 31, 2015 – – Banville Law reports on another lawsuit filed against power morcellator manufacturer Ethicon, (a subdivision of Johnson & Johnson). The suit was filed on behalf of a deceased woman by her family. Their complaint alleges that the woman’s death was ultimately caused by the use of a laparoscopic power morcellator during her hysterectomy, which exposed, spread, and advanced previously hidden cancer cells.

Details of this lawsuit explain that the woman underwent her hysterectomy in order to remove uterine fibroids that had become painful. During this procedure, in order to perform a less-invasive surgery, surgeons used an Ethicon-brand power morcellator tool. The device was inserted into the woman’s lower abdomen where it works by rapidly spinning small blades which shred the fibroid tissue. These shredded pieces of tissue are later able to be removed from the body through the incision.

As this woman’s family alleges, and as many other plaintiffs claim, as the morcellator does this, it can expose previously undetected cancer cells and its motion can disseminate these cells throughout the body. This accelerates the cancer, advancing its grade and significantly impairing its treatability. Often, these cancers continue to grow despite treatment and become fatal.

In this particular case, the woman passed away from aggressive and widespread cancer less than two years after undergoing power morcellation. She was ultimately diagnosed with metastatic uterine cancer which, despite many attempts at various treatments, only continued to spread and grow. The family alleges that had the woman’s cancer not been spread by the power morcellator tool, it may have been contained and able to be treated more successfully. Cancer cells that are encapsulated within a uterine fibroid are virtually impossible to detect prior to surgery.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a safety warning which discussed power morcellation during gynecological surgery. They informed women that they should refrain from undergoing this procedure on uterine fibroids because of the risk of spreading hidden cancer cells. Additionally, they estimated that around 1 out of every 350 women who undergo power morcellation for hysterectomies and myomectomies may have uterine cancer cells they are unaware of.

As power morcellation lawsuits continue to mount, all suits against Ethicon brand morcellators have been consolidated to form multidistrict litigation number 2652 by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. They are being overseen by the Honorable Judge Kathryn H. Vratil in the U.S. District of Kansas. Ethicon morcellators have since been recalled, and the company is no longer producing them, however, many other manufacturers continue to make and market the tool.

The attorneys at Banville Law are dedicated to ensuring that everyone who has undergone power morcellation and was subsequently diagnosed with cancer will have the opportunity to explore all of their legal rights. These individuals and their families may be entitled to legal action and significant compensation. Banville Law is currently offering these individuals free legal consultations.

December 31, 2015 – – ZofranLegal.com reports that lawsuits alleging that anti-nausea drug Zofran can cause birth defects to form in babies exposed to it while growing in utero have been consolidated to form MDL number 2657 in Boston, Massachusetts. These lawsuits recently surpassed 200 in number, and plaintiffs have watched presiding Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV appoint 5 attorneys to lead the plaintiffs’ steering committee.

Two of the appointed attorneys are connected to ZofranLegal.com and have worked for several months with lead attorney Michael Monheit to assist with the process of filing Zofran birth defect lawsuits against manufacturer and pharmaceutical conglomerate GlaxoSmithKline.

About a month ago, Judge Saylor also announced his initial five official court orders for the cases involved. The orders effectively set up a master list for court filings to follow, and indicate that lawyers would have the option of calling, rather than appearing in person, to participate in status conferences, the latest of which was held on December 16th. The orders also address the defendant in the cases, pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, indicating that at this time, they are not required to answer all filed complaints. Answers will not have to be provided, in fact, until a more streamlined process has been established by the court.

Plaintiffs involved in the MDL all synonymously allege that Zofran exposure to fetuses can cause a range of birth defects to develop, including clubfoot, tetralogy of fallot, transposition of the greater vessels, cleft lip and palate, respiratory defects, kidney defects, atrial septal defect, and ventricular septal defect. Several of the lawsuits note that the birth defects were fatal, ending the lives of the infants born with them.

Attorneys appointed to lead the Zofran MDL are: Elizabeth Graham, Esq., Robert K. Jenner, Esq., Kimberly Dougherty, Esq., Kimberly Barone Baden, Esq., and Tobias Millrood, Esq. These attorneys bring many years of professional experience and legal knowledge to the table.

As the MDL cases await trial, many expect that others will continue to be filed, especially due to the popularity of Zofran as a morning sickness drug. Zofran was prescribed “off-label” to an estimated 1 million pregnant women within the last year. These prescriptions are considered “off-label” due to the fact that Zofran has never been FDA-approved to treat morning sickness in pregnant women, or tested for safety on this consumer group.

The attorneys at Monheit Law are attempting to ensure that all families negatively affected by Zofran can have the ability to fully investigate their legal rights. Affected mothers and children may be entitled to legal action and compensation. Those who were prescribed Zofran while pregnant and who subsequently gave birth to an infant with defects are being offered free legal consultations from Monheit Law.

To request additional information on Zofran lawsuits or to ask questions, contact Michael Monheit, Esq. by calling (877) 620-8411.
