Introduction

The allegations are against drug manufacturer Sanofi-Aventis, wherein the plaintiffs allege that they were deprived of making an informed decision to select other similar drugs which lacked the risk of alopecia. Another strong allegation faced by Sanofi-Aventis is that it failed to adequately warn female breast cancer patients and doctors about the risk of permanent baldness from Taxotere.

This July, the Taxotere Plaintiffs also filed a motion to remand certain cases to three different state courts in Missouri, California, and Delaware. The cases would be chosen from more than thousands of Taxotere lawsuits already filed. However, the Plaintiffs were ordered to file a written submission regarding this at a later date.
