April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

How to Qualify for a Depo-Provera Claim:
Use of Depo-Provera
Diagnosis of Brain Tumor
Document Evidence
Submit The Form Above
Depo-Provera is an injectable birth control containing the synthetic hormone medroxyprogesterone acetate, is linked to an increased risk of meningioma, a rare brain tumor. This risk was not adequately disclosed to consumers or medical professionals. Studies, including those published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), have shown that long-term use of Depo-Provera significantly raises the risk of developing meningiomas.
Claims against Pfizer, Inc., the drug’s manufacturer, alleges that the company knew or should have known about the increased risk of meningiomas—brain tumors that can cause severe neurological symptoms—especially with prolonged use. The claims state that Pfizer failed to adequately warn doctors and patients, rushed the drug to market without sufficient long-term studies, and prioritized profits over safety.
Due to the rising number of claims against Pfizer regarding Depo-Provera and brain tumors have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in federal court. Affected individuals may seek compensation for medical expenses, long-term care, and other damages, with the potential for federal court consolidation of cases.
