TheProductLawyers.com reports on a wrongful death lawsuit filed in St. Clair County Circuit Court on November 20th, 2015 under case number 15-L-670. The plaintiffs, in this case, are comprised of 10 people living in different states claiming that family members died from excessive bleeding from taking Xarelto. Their suit is against the manufacturers of Xarelto, Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, the last of which is a subdivision of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation.

Xarelto lawsuits now exceed 3,000 cases, with 2,800 being consolidated in a federal court in Louisiana and an additional 550 in Philadelphia, PA that have been joined together in a mass tort program.

The plaintiffs also allege that Janssen and Bayer misled the public through its marketing and advertising which utilized celebrities to endorse and discuss the product. The plaintiffs state the manufacturers falsely represented the drug and did not sufficiently mention the potentially dangerous side effects that could result from taking it. Despite research done by the defendants that may have shown otherwise, the court filings suggest that Bayer and Janssen clearly chose to market Xarelto as an effective and safe treatment for patients who required knee and hip replacements or for those who suffered from a common heart ailment called atrial fibrillation.

In June 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration contacted Bayer and Janssen via written correspondence stating that the public claims made in their advertising and marketing were not accurate. However, despite the FDA's concern as expressed in its letter, the drug continued to be promoted as it had been with no changes made to the marketing strategy by the defendants.

The plaintiffs in the St. Clair County Circuit Court filing are requesting a minimum of $50,000 for each family member that had died to cover medical bills, funeral costs, legal fees and compensation for pain and suffering endured by those family members left behind. Janssen and Bayer are being charged with 9 counts of various charges ranging from fraud to wrongful death.

The attorneys of Banville Law, the firm behind TheProductLawyers.com, are offering complimentary consultations to anyone who suffered injury or hospitalization after a bleed while on Xarelto. For more information about this release or the Xarelto litigation call 888-478-9711.
