There are also more than 200 similar lawsuits filed in various state courts, including Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey, and Ohio.

The report also stated various agenda items for the status conference held on April 22. During the conference, the parties updated Judge Cecchi on the status of bellwether trial pool selections, the discovery proceedings, and other actions to move the litigation forward.

The lawsuits are consolidated under MDL No. 2789 presided by U.S. District Judge Claire C. Cecchi. Each plaintiff claims that the manufacturers failed to warn about the risk of chronic kidney disease associated with the widely used heartburn and acid reflux drugs.
