Atrium Hernia Mesh Lawsuit Filed

Introduction

Lawsuits involving Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid, and other proton pump inhibitors have grown up to nearly 14,000 cases filed across the federal court system.

According to a joint status report submitted on April 17, by the parties involved in the litigation to the U.S. District Judge Claire C. Cecchi, there are at least  13,919 lawsuits filed, involving 13,950 different plaintiffs.

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.
