Plaintiff Files Xarelto Lawsuit Claiming Manufacturers Use Misleading Advertisements For Anticoagulant

February 26, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on another lawsuit filed against Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson), and Bayer AG. The complaint was made in regards to the tactics of advertisements by the manufacturers for their blood-thinning drug Xarelto. Xarelto has now become the topic of over 2,800 lawsuits from across the nation filed in federal courts and consolidated to form multidistrict litigation number 2592, as well as over 550 lawsuits which form a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania mass tort group.

Many of Xarelto’s ads feature endorsements from popular athletes and celebrities, including Brian Vickers (of NASCAR), Chris Bosh (an NBA player), Kevin Nealon (of SNL), and Arnold Palmer (a golf legend). During the TV commercials, each celebrity discusses the anticoagulant and its benefits, however, they do not address what many plaintiffs today consider to be very viable concerns over dangerous risks they now associate with the product.

These plaintiffs, in fact, have a profoundly different perspective of the drug than the ones represented in these commercials. Many claim that it is the most dangerous blood thinner currently on the market, and that it can put patients using it at increased risk for dangerous bleeding episodes, including severe internal bleeding–situations which can leave damaging effects or cause death.

Xarelto has been given two black box warnings by the FDA since its initial approval as a new-generation blood thinner. These black box warnings are the most severe warnings a product can receive before being pulled completely from the market.

The Xarelto lawsuits which were filed in federal courtrooms across the U.S. have been consolidated by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation and are being overseen by the Honorable Judge Eldon Fallon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. As the many plaintiffs involved await trial dates, many believe that additional lawsuits are likely to join the MDL. For this reason, Attorney Joseph Osborne is currently working to help ensure that anyone who believes they have been negatively affected by the blood thinner will be given the important opportunity of fully exploring their legal rights. Attorney Osborne is now offering complimentary Xarelto consultations for qualifying parties.
