What is this Class Action about?
This litigation concerns hormone therapy for the drugs Premarin® and Premplus®. The allegations were that the Defendants’ drugs, Premarin® and Premplus®, cause breast cancer, and that the Defendants failed to provide an appropriate warning of the risk of breast cancer.
A class action Settlement was reached between the parties in this lawsuit and was approved by the Court, in the amount of $2.4 million CAD. A fund has been established to pay compensation to class members, public health insurers, legal fees, disbursements, and administration costs, but the exact dollar amount that each Claimant receives will depend on their use and exposure to the Drugs, the nature and severity of their injuries, and the number of claimants who seek compensation from the fund.
Merchant Law Group LLP cannot offer to represent you as a client, nor submit a Claim Form on your behalf. You are at liberty to retain a different law firm if you wish, but this class action settlement was designed to allow class members the ability to submit a Claim Form Package to the settlement administrator, without the need to hire a lawyer. If you have questions please contact the settlement administrator via www.PremarinClassActionCanada.ca or by e-mail at info@PremarinClassActionCanada.ca
