Overview of the Valsartan Mass Tort
The Valsartan mass tort is a significant legal response to the 2018 global recall of the blood pressure medication Valsartan, following the discovery of carcinogenic impurities in the drug. This discovery has led to a surge in legal action, with more than 1,200 cases pending as of mid-2023, reflecting the widespread concern and impact of this issue. These cases are consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey, signifying the gravity and complexity of the situation. The first bellwether trial is scheduled for early next year, marking a critical juncture in this ongoing legal saga. As the legal proceedings evolve, it remains crucial for affected individuals to stay informed and consider their legal options.
