Xarelto Lawsuit Plaintiffs State Bayer and Janssen Ignored FDA Letter About Misleading Public Campaign About Drug

September 06, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on the number of cases filed across the country related to potentially dangerous side effects of Xarelto, manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer AG. The number of lawsuits to date is in excess of 3,000 with 2,800 of them being part of a multidistrict litigation (MDL) number 2592 in Louisiana. There are an additional 550 cases in Philadelphia, PA as part of a mass tort program. All of the lawsuits filed name Janssen and Bayer as defendants with similar allegations related to excessive bleeding allegedly as a result of taking Xarelto.

One of the newer lawsuits involves a group of 10 people who have had relatives that allegedly died because of excessive bleeding side effects. The 10 plaintiffs live in different states and have filed a wrongful death lawsuit in St. Clair County Circuit Court on November 20, 2015 under case number 15-L-670.

The plaintiffs in this case have levied 9 counts of misconduct on the part of Janssen and Bayer ranging from fraud to wrongful death in that they falsely marketed the drug and neglected to let the public know about the drug’s dangerous side effects. They are seeking compensatory damages from the defendants for each of the deceased family members in the amount of $50,000. This amount is to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and for pain and suffering for those left behind who must fill the void in their lives the best they can without their loved ones.

Plaintiffs are also stating in their court documents, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had previously notified the defendants by letter that the marketing claims being made about Xarelto were misleading and were not sufficiently identifying the risks involved in taking the medication. However, Bayer and Janssen did not heed the FDA’s letter and continued to market Xarelto in the same fashion.
