Plaintiffs In Texas File Xarelto Lawsuit Claiming Manufacturers Failed To Properly Warn Consumers Of Drug’s Dangerous Side Effects

March 18, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on a lawsuit which has been filed against Xarelto manufacturers Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson corporation). Xarelto is a new-generation blood thinner. The lawsuit regarding the drug was filed by a couple from Texas. Their complaint was initially filed in the Eastern District of New York under case number 1:14-cv-04524, before being transferred to join other consolidated cases in Louisiana. The plaintiffs involved claim that defendants Bayer and Janssen failed to sufficiently warn consumers and medical professionals about the potentially dangerous risks linked to the use of their product.

Details found within court documents of this particular complaint indicate that the female plaintiff was prescribed Xarelto by her doctor in an attempt to prevent strokes from occurring due to her atrial fibrillation condition. The woman claims that she had taken the anticoagulant for just 5 months when she suddenly suffered from a potentially life-threatening internal bleed. She states that the bleed has left her with long-term medical needs that she continues to deal with today.

Xarelto launched onto the market in 2011 after gaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. It was approved to treat patients recovering from knee and hip surgeries, as they may be at increased risk for the development of blood clots or strokes, as well as patients with pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or atrial fibrillation.

Although Xarelto was initially incredibly popular among consumers, today the drug is surrounded by over 3,000 lawsuits involving plaintiffs who all share strikingly similar allegations. These plaintiffs state the blood thinner can put users at increased risk for sudden and dangerous bleeding episodes. Federally-filed complaints which were consolidated in Louisiana by the U.S. JPML now number over 2,800 while another group forming a mass tort is housed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania containing more than 600 Xarelto lawsuit cases. Cases in Louisiana have formed MDL No. 2592 and are being overseen by Judge Eldon Fallon.

As thousands of plaintiffs await their trial dates, and lawsuits continue to increase in number, Attorney Joseph Osborne has been working to help anyone who used Xarelto and feels that they have been negatively affected by the blood thinner. He wants to provide these patients with the important opportunity to explore their legal rights in full. Those who suffered after using the drug may be entitled to significant compensation through legal action. To help those wishing to pursue justice, Attorney Osborne is currently offering free legal consultations to affected individuals.
