(LegalLaw247.com, January 05, 2012 ) New York, NY Actos lawsuits against Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. will be consolidated before one judge in Louisiana federal court, announces Class Action.org. The Actos lawsuits claim that the drug causes bladder cancer, a side effect about which the manufacturer and co-defendant Eli Lilly & Co. failed to properly warn the public. In September, Takeda reported that 54 federal Actos lawsuits had been filed, and dozens more have followed, according to court records. Potentially, Actos users who were diagnosed with bladder cancer may still have legal recourse to file a claim for damages, such as medical expenses; however, there is a time limit for filing all Actos lawsuits and failure to act within this window will prevent the patient from ever taking legal action for their disease. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with bladder cancer after taking Actos, visit http://www.classaction.org/actos.html today for a free, no obligation case review.
Thousands of patients have reportedly contacted attorneys about filing Actos bladder cancer lawsuits. Such action was taken after the FDA announced in June 2011 that patients who used the diabetes medication for more than a year may have an increased risk of developing bladder cancer. It has been alleged that Takeda withheld information and failed to properly inform doctors and patients about this Actos bladder cancer risk.
Patients who took Actos and were diagnosed with bladder cancer may be able to file a claim seeking compensation with the help of an Actos bladder cancer lawyer. Currently, the attorneys working with Class Action.org are offering a free online case evaluation which can help determine a patients eligibility for an Actos lawsuit. Potentially, an Actos bladder cancer lawsuit can seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages related to the patients diagnosis.
