June 12, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on Xarelto, a new-generation blood-thinning drug that has fast become the focus of over 3,000 lawsuits since its release to the market. Of this amount, 2,800 federal cases have been consolidated in a multidistrict litigation (MDL 2592) under the jurisdiction of a Louisiana federal court by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML). The panel decreed that they should be consolidated due to the very similar allegations being made that the drug caused excessive and uncontrollable bleeding and that in many cases the result was fatal.
The panel also stated that consolidation was prudent since all of the cases were filed against the same defendants, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation, and Bayer AG.
The cases are slowly working their way through the court system toward their day in court with the selection of bellwether trials having been completed. This consolidation will serve to hasten court review and prevent duplicative discovery processes, as well as save a lot of time and money to be expended by those involved in the litigation.
Additionally, the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania consolidated another 550 cases together in a mass tort program. These cases also had similar allegations levied against the same defendants.
One of the cases originally filed in a Vermont Federal Court under number 2:14-cv-00159-cr but now part of the MDL, was by a plaintiff who alleges that her father suffered a brain bleed, otherwise known as a parenchymal hemorrhage, while he was taking Xarelto. Doctors were unable to stop the bleeding because Xarelto was still in the man’s system, thus causing his death.
The attorneys of Banville Law, the firm behind TheProductLawyers.com, are offering complimentary consultations to anyone who suffered injury or hospitalization after a bleed while on Xarelto. For more information about this release or the Xarelto litigation call 888-997-3792.

“I hate to admit it, but I’m getting older and my vision isn’t as sharp as it used to be. Lately it’s been difficult to read the gauge that I have been using. I bought this gauge and threw it in my glove box. A few weeks ago I noticed a slow leak in one of my tire. I realized then that I had purchased this new digital tire gauge from Amazon. I used it for the first time a few days ago and I LOVE IT!! The numbers are large and I love that it lights up! I could actually read the dial without my glasses. Now that my tire is an issue I so glad I got this new gauge,” said one Amazon customer.
