Invokana Plaintiffs To Submit Documents For Pending Claims

Introduction

In an order issued on August 16, Judge Martinotti presiding over Invokana lawsuits, instructed the plaintiffs whose claims remain unresolved to submit additional information related to their case. For proceeding, the plaintiffs are also required to inform the treating doctors and dispensing pharmacies to save evidence, medical records and fact sheets related to their claims. The order also implies that the resolution process would come into effect immediately for new Invokana cases filed. However, existing plaintiffs get time till October 30 for submitting the additional documents and evidence.

Defendants Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals face hundreds of lawsuits claiming the manufacturers failed to send out an adequate public warning regarding the risk of amputations of the leg and foot as potential side effects of the diabetes drug. The federal multidistrict litigation (MDL No: 2750) for Invokana lawsuits was formed in December 2016, in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, presided by Hon. Brian R. Martinotti for coordinated pretrial proceedings. The first bellwether trial is slated to begin in September 2018.
