Xarelto Lawsuit Plaintiffs Allege Anticoagulant Drug Caused Deaths Of Family Members

April 05, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on another Xarelto-related lawsuit which has been filed against the blood thinner’s manufacturers Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a subdivision of Johnson & Johnson corporation). This lawsuit is particularly notable as a group of 10 plaintiffs from several states have united in order to file the complaint because of striking similarities in their allegations. The plaintiffs unanimously claim that the anticoagulant drug Xarelto has caused their family members dangerous and fatal medical complications.

The plaintiffs make up a group of ten family members in total who are filing as representatives for loved ones who have tragically passed away because of medical complications that occurred while each was taking the blood thinner Xarelto. The lawsuits were filed in a St. Clair County Circuit Court on November 20, 2015, under case number 15-L-670. Further details regarding the complaint show that plaintiffs claim the defendants used fraudulent marketing campaigns for the drug with misleading claims, and missing important product warning information.

Since it’s 2011 approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Xarelto has also received two “black box” warnings from the agency. These “black box” warnings are the most severe product warnings the FDA is able to attach to a product short of fully removing it from the market. In addition, across the United States, Xarelto lawsuit numbers have surpassed 3,400. Over 2,800 of these lawsuits were consolidated and transferred by the U.S. JPML, forming multidistrict litigation number 2592 in Eastern Louisiana, while over 620 other Xarelto lawsuits have now been formed into a mass tort program in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by the Court of Common Pleas.

This particular lawsuit names a total of nine defendants, which include the drug’s manufacturers. Plaintiffs claim wrongful death, negligent misrepresentation, strict product liability, and fraud and are requesting, at least, $50,000 in compensation for each of the deceased family members, as well as coverage for legal fees.

As lawsuits concerning Xarelto continue to be filed, Attorney Joseph Osborne is working to help others who used the drug and believe that it caused them to suffer from adverse health events. He wishes to help ensure that all patients who believe they have suffered because of the drug will be provided with the important opportunity to fully investigate their legal options.
