FDA Issues Black Box Warnings That Plaintiff In Xarelto Lawsuit Alleges Contributed To Her Husband’s Death

June 13, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on the consolidation of over 2,800 Xarelto lawsuits by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML). The multidistrict litigation (MDL) has been placed under the jurisdiction of the Honorable Judge Eldon Fallon in the Eastern District of Louisiana and has been assigned number 2592. The Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, PA also created a mass tort program of 550 cases.

One case in particular that was filed by a South Florida resident, and is now part of the MDL, involved the death of the plaintiff’s husband who, at the time, was taking Xarelto as a preventative measure for strokes due to his atrial fibrillation heart condition. She is alleging in her court documents that the manufacturers of the drug, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subdivision of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation, and Bayer Healthcare, were responsible for her husband’s death since they failed to warn consumers about the potentially dangerous bleeding risks associated with the blood thinner. He died of a subdural hemorrhage after doctors were unable to stop the excessive bleeding.

Xarelto was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and released on the market in In 2011. It was being promoted as a successful and exciting new-generation blood thinner because unlike traditional blood thinner medications before it, the drug did not require special diets nor did patients have to be consistently monitored by their physicians. These advancements and benefits gave the drug a lot of popularity initially but it quickly became the topic of thousands of lawsuits which allege the drug can cause episodes of life-threatening bleeding. Furthermore, the FDA has issued Xarelto two black box warnings that essentially are the worst issuances that can be garnered prior to a drug being removed completely from the consumer market.

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.
