AVANDIA MDL SET IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA

Tue, November 13, 2007

The Avandia multidistrict litigation docket has been created and assigned to U.S. Judge Cynthia M. Rufe of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (In Re: Avandia Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation, MDL Docket No. 1871, JPMDL).

As of now 27 Federal lawsuits have been filed alleging Avandia caused users heart attacks. GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of Avanidia has its headquarters in Philadelphia within earshot of the courthouse. It is thought that the proximity of potential witnesses and documents prompted the decision to base the MDL in Glaxo's home court.
