Texas Plaintiffs File Xarelto Lawsuit Complaint Alleging Manufacturers Neglected To Warn Consumers Of Drug’s Dangers
March 28, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on another lawsuit which has been filed against Xarelto manufacturers Bayer Healthcare and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a subdivision of Johnson & Johnson) in reference to the anticoagulant drug they produce, Xarelto. Xarelto is a new-generation blood-thinning drug which has been on the market for five year’s time. In those five years, it has become the topic of thousands of lawsuits from across the United States.
This particular lawsuit was filed by a Texas couple under case number 1:14-cv-04524. The complaint was filed in the Eastern District of New York prior to being transferred to join many other consolidated cases in Eastern Louisiana after a ruling by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. This consolidation created MDL number 2592.
The plaintiffs who have filed this lawsuit allege that defendants Bayer and Janssen neglected to adequately warn patients and medical professionals about dangerous possible risks connected to the use of their anticoagulant. The female plaintiff claims to have been prescribed Xarelto by her physician in order to prevent strokes which she was deemed at increased risk for due to her atrial fibrillation condition. She alleges that she used the anticoagulant for only 5 months when she suffered from a sudden and possibly life-threatening internal bleed. She also claims that this bleed left her with long-term medical needs that she still struggles with today.
After its initial launch, Xarelto was highly popular among consumers, offering freedoms that previous blood thinners hadn’t. Now, however, the drug is surrounded by more than 3,400 lawsuits which share concerning and common allegations. Involved plaintiffs allege that the anticoagulant can place patients taking it at increased risk for dangerous and sudden bleeding (both internal and external).
As these many plaintiffs await pending trial dates, and complaint filings continue to rise in number, Attorney Joseph Osborne is looking to assist patients who have taken Xarelto and who feel that they have suffered from adverse events due to their use of the blood thinner. He hopes to provide these individuals with the critical opportunity to fully investigate their legal rights. Affected individuals could be entitled to substantial compensation obtained through legal action. To better help those looking to pursue justice, Attorney Osborne is offering complimentary legal consultations to affected parties at this time.
