Chantix MDL Petition Filed
On July 2, Plaintiffs filed a motion to consolidate dozens of Chantix lawsuits before one federal judge. The petition, filed before the Judicial Panel on MultiDistrict Litigation, describes Plaintiffs’ allegations that Pfizer failed to research their medication and warn about serious and sometimes fatal neuropsychiatric side effects associated with the drug.
This first petition recommended to the Panel that the cases be consolidated in the Northern District of Alabama or the Northern District of Georgia.
Here’s a link to the complaint in one of the early Chantix lawsuits, filed in the Southern District of Indiana.
