In re: Valsartan Products Liability Litigation
The Valsartan litigation
In July 2018, the FDA issued a press release announcing the voluntary recall of several high-blood pressure medications which contain Valsartan, due to the presence of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) found in the active ingredient in the drugs. The EPA lists NDMA and NDEA as probable human carcinogens.
Since the recall in 2018, various lawsuits for personal injury and economic loss have been brought against the manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers of Valsartan products. Many of these lawsuits have been consolidated in the case styled In re: Valsartan Products Liability Litigation which is in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Case No. 1:19-md-02875. Further, the voluntary recall has expanded to include the related drug medications: Amlodipine, Irbesartan, and Losartan.
