DECISION 2010: Canadian Vioxx Claims
The anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx was recalled five and a half years ago September 30, 2004 after evidence came out that it causes stroke and heart attacks. Since then the Miskin firm has represented individual Vioxx users hurt by that drug who are making claims. In the USA a settlement is still being implemented for over two years and Merck recently paid the final installment of settlement money as US claims are processed. Meanwhile Merck still fights a class action lawsuit in Canadian courts and has not yet paid any claims outside of the United States. In 2010 the fight to get Canadians compensation has finally moved to the next stage with certification finalized and directions for the class action coming now through the Ontario Court. Vioxx claimants have a decision to make with a June 30, 2010 deadline.
