Since I am handling several Digitek lawsuits, I attended the Digitek MDL hearing in San Francisco last week. No one opposed consolidation of the cases, but there were several alternative venues offered. If I were a gambling man, I would bet that they are transferred to New Jersey (home of Actavis) or West Virginia (home of Mylan).
For those who don't know, Digitek is a drug that was placed on the market with double the intended dose, causing digitalis toxicity --which can lead to cardiac instability, stroke, death, vomiting, nausea, low blood pressure and bradychardia.
Just yesterday, Actavis issued a voluntary recall of all drugs (not just Digitek) made at its Little Falls, New Jersey facility.
