Vioxx, a Cox-2 inhibitor used for the treatment of pain, was withdrawn from the market by its manufacturer, Merck & Co., Inc., in September 2004 because of an apparent increased risk of heart attack and stroke. In February 2005, the federal Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred all pending federal Vioxx product liability cases to Judge Eldon E. Fallon of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana ' transfers conventionally referred to as Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) transfers.
As of late April, almost 400 Vioxx product liability cases were pending before Judge Fallon. Details and significant orders concerning the Vioxx multidistrict litigation can be found on the court's Vioxx Web site at http://vioxx.laed.uscourts.gov/. Judge Fallon will control all discovery and pretrial matters in federal Vioxx litigation. Any cases that are not settled or decided through pretrial motions by Judge Fallon will be transferred back to the federal courts from which they originated.
