First Fosamax Trial to Begin in August
The first "bellwether" trial in the Fosamax MDL is set to begin on August 11, 2009. The first Fosamax case to be tried was filed by Shirley Boyles who took the drug for over 9 years for treatment of osteoporosis. The lawsuit alleges she developed osteonecrosis of the jaw as a side effect of her Fosamax use.
The Fosamax lawsuits, over 600, have been consolidated in the the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The next case is set for trial in December.
