Xarelto lawyer March Goldich of BloodThinnerHelp.com reports that the growing number of claims in the pending Xarelto litigation now exceeds 400 complaints.
Recent studies have linked the prescription blood thinner Xarelto to severe side effects including irreversible bleeding.
As a result, lawsuits have been filed by individuals and families throughout the country alleging that severe bleeding caused by Xarelto resulted in serious injury or death.
About Xarelto Lawsuits
In December of 2014, federal judges elected to centralize multiple Xarelto lawsuits, which spanned ten district courts at the time, into one Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) under the Eastern District Court for Lousiana.
The number of claims in the consolidated MDL originally consisted of a few dozen cases, however the total number of Xarelto cases has grown rapidly since the formation of the MDL and now consists over 430 claims.
What Is Multidistrict Litigation (MDL)?
Multidistrict Litigation is a legal procedure often used in complex litigation including product liability suits. Multidistrict Litigation consolidates multiple lawsuits which share one or more common claims into a single filing under one district court.
Among other allegations, many of the claims in the Xarelto MDL allege that Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals - manufacturers of Xarelto - did not warn about harmful side effects including irreversible internal bleeding, which they knew about.
Additionally, these lawsuits claim that sufficient testing was not performed on the drug to determine its safety.

Attorney Marc Goldich of BloodThinnerHelp.com commented, “The growing number of Xarelto lawsuits has developed in line with our expectations. Based on total Xarelto prescriptions, as well as incidence rates from clinical trials, we believe that there will be several thousand claims brought against Bayer AG & Janssen Pharmacueticals by the end of this litigation.”
