What the litigation alleged

Studies associated pioglitazone (Actos) taken for more than a year with an elevated risk of bladder cancer, and regulators in several countries restricted or suspended the drug. The United States litigation, which produced one of the larger pharmaceutical settlements of its era, alleged the manufacturer downplayed that risk for years.

While the original settlement program has closed, people with recent diagnoses after long-term Actos use can still ask us to evaluate their circumstances.

Injuries named in the litigation

  • Bladder cancer
  • Recurrent bladder tumors
  • Bladder removal (cystectomy)
