Metformin Marketing and Sales Practices Settlement
What happened
The defendants falsely advertised their generic metformin drugs as equivalent to Glucophage and Glucophage XR, but the drugs were contaminated with NDMA and did not meet FDA standards. Consumers and businesses paid for drugs they would not have purchased had they known the truth. The defendants deny wrongdoing.
Do you qualify?
You may qualify if you paid for a metformin-containing drug manufactured, distributed, or sold by Teva, Granules, or Heritage for personal or household use between July 20, 2015 and June 2, 2020. Third-party payors who reimbursed for such drugs also qualify. Excluded are the defendants and their affiliates, government entities, resellers, and others noted in the settlement terms.
