April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

Birth control shots including the Depo-Provera shot, Depo-SubQ Provera shot, and medroxyprogesterone shot, are widely used hormonal contraceptives, that have been the subject of scrutiny regarding potential health risks, including a possible association with brain tumors. Depo-Provera, containing the progestin depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), is administered via injection every three months to prevent pregnancy. While it is considered an effective contraceptive option, recent studies have raised concerns about its long-term safety profile, particularly concerning its association with brain tumors.
A case-control study published in Cancer Research in 2021 highlighted a possible correlation between progestin-based contraceptives, like Depo-Provera, and an increased risk of certain types of brain tumors, including meningiomas (Smith et al., 2021). Meningiomas are typically benign but can be serious due to their location and potential for causing neurological symptoms. The study suggested that progestins might influence tumor growth due to their impact on hormonal pathways involved in cell proliferation.

Depo-Provera is an injectable birth control containing the synthetic hormone medroxyprogesterone acetate, is linked to an increased risk of meningioma, a rare brain tumor. This risk was not adequately disclosed to consumers or medical professionals. Studies, including those published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), have shown that long-term use of Depo-Provera significantly raises the risk of developing meningiomas.
Claims against Pfizer, Inc., the drug’s manufacturer, alleges that the company knew or should have known about the increased risk of meningiomas—brain tumors that can cause severe neurological symptoms—especially with prolonged use. The claims state that Pfizer failed to adequately warn doctors and patients, rushed the drug to market without sufficient long-term studies, and prioritized profits over safety.
Due to the rising number of claims against Pfizer regarding Depo-Provera and brain tumors have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in federal court. Affected individuals may seek compensation for medical expenses, long-term care, and other damages, with the potential for federal court consolidation of cases.
While Pfizer has not admitted liability in any of these cases, it has quietly settled some lawsuits, particularly those involving long-term users diagnosed with brain tumors. Confidential settlement agreements prevent the disclosure of compensation amounts, but they reflect the increasing attention to this issue.
Early research into the safety of DMPA largely focused on its impact on bone density and cardiovascular health. However, more recent studies have expanded the scope to examine its potential links to cancer. A notable study conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) reviewed the effects of hormonal contraceptives on various cancer types, including brain tumors. The study found that there were indications that long-term use of DMPA might be associated with an increase in risk (Baker, 2022).
