Where the litigation stands (As of October 2026)

Gastrointestinal injury cases are consolidated as MDL No. 3094 before Judge Karen S. Marston in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In September 2026 the court held a multi-day hearing on scientific evidence issues that apply across the cases. Vision-loss (NAION) cases are in a separate MDL, No. 3163, before the same judge.
