Open drugs & medical class action settlements
Class action settlements involving drugs, supplements, medical devices, and health products.
QVAR Antitrust Settlement
Teva allegedly took unlawful actions to delay generic versions of QVAR asthma inhalers from entering the market, including improperly listing patents in the FDA's Orange Book and discontinuing versions to switch to new ones. These actions allegedly kept QVAR prices artificially high, causing consumers and insurers to overpay. Teva denies all allegations and maintains it did nothing wrong.
Tracleer Litigation Settlement
The Defendants allegedly unlawfully delayed the entry of generic formulations of bosentan into the market, causing third-party payors to pay more for brand Tracleer and bosentan than they should have. The Defendants deny they did anything wrong.
Metformin Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation Settlement
The defendants allegedly falsely advertised generic metformin drugs as equivalent to Glucophage and Glucophage XR, but the drugs were actually contaminated with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and did not meet FDA standards. As a result, consumers and businesses paid for drugs they would not have purchased. The defendants deny any wrongdoing.
Polyclinic Compensation Fund Settlement
The Polyclinic allegedly failed to provide qualified interpreters necessary for effective communication with patients who have hearing, vision, and/or speech disabilities between January 1, 2021 and September 30, 2025. The U.S. Attorney's Office contends this violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Polyclinic denies wrongdoing and has agreed to pay $350,000 to resolve the investigation without further litigation.
Columbus Regional Health Data Breach Settlement
Columbus Regional Health allegedly disclosed confidential personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) to third-party technologies without patient consent. Columbus Regional denies all claims but agreed to settle to avoid litigation costs and uncertainties.

Anthem Grandfathered Rx Settlement
