This past week, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order created an MDL for the federal cases and centralizing the cases in the Distrist of New Jersey before the Honorable Brian Martinotti. The case is MDL 2973 – In re Elmiron (Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium) Products Liability Litigation.

Johnson & Johnson is a New Jersey Corporation. Janssen Pharmaceuticals, part of the Johnson & Johnson umbrella of companies, is a Pennsylvania corporation. These companies have marketed Elmiron since the 2000s. The Plaintiffs allege that the company has never provided any warning of maculopathy or retinopathy associated with use of the drug or warned patients to have regular eye exams to monitor vision while using the drug until the company updated the label in June, 2020.
