No New Trial for the 3rd Xarelto Bellwether Plaintiff

Introduction

The plaintiff of the 3rd Xarelto bellwether trial, which went in favor of the Xarelto defendants J&J's Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer in August 2017, faced a defeat again when a Louisiana federal judge turned down the request for a new trial.

The plaintiff had planned for a retrial based on the recent scientific study that she hoped could change the jury's mind. Judge Eldon E. Fallon denied her request stating that the newly discovered evidence was actually cumulative of the previously known and admitted evidence.

Xarelto lawsuits are consolidated under MDL No.- 2592 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana; nearly 22,000 cases are a part of this MDL while more than 1,500 cases are pending in Philadelphia's Complex Litigation Center.
