Tuesday, November 13, 2012

Senior Baum Hedlund partner, Michael Baum, and partner Cynthia Garber, have recently been appointed to the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee (PSC), Judicial Council Coordinated Proceedings (JCCP 4696) In re Actos Product Liability Cases in Los Angeles, California.  The members of the PSC manage the complex mass tort litigation arising from the Actos bladder cancer cases that have been consolidated in California at Los Angeles Superior Court.

Michael and Cynthia are also working directly with the PSC overseeing the Actos MDL6:11-md-2299 (multi-district litigation) cases consolidated in federal court in the UnitedStates District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, specifically working within the Science Committee. 

Our firm has filed dozens of Actos bladder cancer lawsuits in both state court in California and federal court in Louisiana, where all of the federally filed cases are being consolidated in preparation for the trial against Takeda and Eli Lilly.  We are also preparing for trial at the state level in California.
