: South Carolina Lawyer BlogAstraZeneca Faces Lawsuits Over Drug Seroquel
By Louthian Law Firm
AstraZeneca, the U.K.?s second-largest drug maker, faces over 14,000 lawsuits claiming its antipsychotic drug Seroquel causes diabetes.
A U.S. District Judge said she will recommend sending all the cases back to their home courts for trial. AstraZeneca wanted the judge to send only 60 cases back to their home courts for trial as test cases in order not to needlessly burden other judges across the country.
The lawsuits allege the London-based company downplayed the diabetes risks of Seroquel. AstraZeneca has spent $623 million to date in legal defense costs defending Seroquel, the company's second largest selling drug after Nexium. The judge also ordered attorneys for both sides to meet with a mediator to seek the possibility for a settlement.
