This month, a jury in the third
bellwether trial over the blood thinner Xarelto has sided with defendants
Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Bayer. The jury deliberated for approximately
three hours. Unlike the first two bellwether trials that took place in New
Orleans, this one took place in Jackson, Mississippi.
More than 18,000 cases have been
filed in the MDL in New Orleans. Many more have been filed throughout the
country in other state-consolidated actions. All lawsuits allege that Xarelto,
an anticoagulant used to treat blood clots, caused plaintiffs to suffer from
uncontrollable bleeding resulting in injury or death.
