Case Details

More than 10,000 lawsuits were filed against Takeda Pharmaceuticals Co. for injuries related to taking their Type 2 diabetes medication Actos. 9,000 claims nationwide were settled, with the total potentially rising up to $2.7 billion.

Additional Notes

The company lost five bellwether trials, though two verdicts were later overturned. 9,000 claims were settled in April 2015. The amount each claimant is awarded is calculated with a 'Points Matrix' based on criteria like age, extent of injury, duration and amount of Actos taken, and risk factors for bladder cancer.
