Italian Vioxx users plan to sue Merck
As we had reported earlier, the Canadian victims have sued the Merck subsidiary there in the Vioxx recall case. As the Texas verdict was announced, there has been more news of lawsuits being filed. Since then the victims in France have already sued the company in US courts.
A new report says that a consumer rights group Codacons is helping Italian users sue Merck. A similar approach is also being taken in Puerto Rico.
According to Codacons estimates, as many as 3.5 million Italian nationals took Vioxx. The organization is also helping those injured by Bextra and Celebrex - two other drugs that are on the blacklist developed by the organization for dangerous drugs in Italy.
