The Actos litigation conference will feature leading mass tort lawyers who will update the audience on the most recent news concerning Actos, a diabetes drug which has sparked a number of lawsuits from patients who have been diagnosed with bladder cancer. Mr. Goetz, alongside two fellow Actos attorneys, will speak in a conference segment regarding the latest developments in Actos litigation. This segment will focus on effective strategies for case selection and venue options, among other issues.
The Actos litigation conference is being presented several months after the FDA announced a link between the diabetes drug and bladder cancer. In June 2011, the agency released a safety announcement informing the public that use of Actos for more than a year may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer. The FDA issued the Actos bladder cancer announcement after reviewing the results from an ongoing study of the drug which noted an increased risk of bladder cancer in patients exposed to the highest cumulative doses and those with the longest exposure to the drug. The agency cautioned that Actos users who experienced blood in the urine, pain during urination, back or abdominal pain, or urinary urgency contact their doctor immediately, as these may be signs of bladder cancer.
In light of the FDAs announcement and pending litigation, the Actos bladder cancer attorneys at Morgan and Morgan would like to hear from anyone who took the drug and was diagnosed with bladder cancer. It has been alleged that the manufacturer knew about the Actos bladder cancer risk and failed to properly warn the public. Because pharmaceutical companies have a duty, at the very least, to provide adequate warnings with their drugs, patients who were diagnosed with bladder cancer after taking Actos may have legal recourse.
