Pharmaceutical Litigation Topics Covered at MTMP

MTMP programming highlights emerging pharmaceutical litigation that may present opportunities for plaintiff firms. Educational sessions are designed to help attorneys stay informed as the legal landscape continues to evolve, with discussions covering topics such as:

GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Litigation

GLP-1 receptor agonist litigation continues to evolve as lawsuits involving Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, Zepbound®, and similar medications move through coordinated federal proceedings. Current claims generally focus on alleged failures to warn about serious gastrointestinal injuries, including gastroparesis, ileus, and intestinal obstruction, while separate litigation is developing around alleged vision loss injuries, including non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). 

Hair Relaxer Litigation

The hair relaxer litigation remains an important area of mass tort litigation as claims involving chemical hair straightening products continue through coordinated federal proceedings. Plaintiffs allege that long-term use of certain products is associated with hormone-related cancers, including uterine, ovarian, and endometrial cancer.

Olympus Scopes Litigation

The Olympus scope litigation involves allegations that certain reusable endoscopes, duodenoscopes, bronchoscopes, and related medical devices may expose patients to serious infections or injuries when devices are difficult to properly clean, disinfect, or reprocess between procedures. FDA safety communications and import alerts involving certain Olympus devices have kept attention on device design, reprocessing protocols, infection risk, hospital records, and causation evidence. x proof issues tied to procedure timelines and post-procedure complications.

Dupixent Litigation

The Dupixent litigation is an emerging pharmaceutical mass tort involving allegations that dupilumab may be associated with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and that the medication may mask or delay diagnosis in certain patients. As coordinated federal litigation moves forward, plaintiff attorneys should continue following developments in medical research, expert testimony, case criteria, and regulatory issues that may shape the future of these claims.
