A family that filed a contaminated steroid case against New England Compounding Pharmacy asked the the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to transfer all federal compounding pharmacy cases to the U.S. District of Minnesota for consolidated pretrial proceedings.
It is reported that attorneys for Brenda and Robert Bansale made this request in a filing earlier this week. They argue all the compounding pharmacy cases should be combined for motion practice, discovery and damage issues because it will involve the same evidence and arguments and therefore consolidation is appropriate under the federal code.
We are investigating several cases of tainted medication for families and our firm participates in these class actions, commonly referred to as MDLs (multi-district litigation) across the country for clients from various states.
