By Mike Holter
 We finally have some good news for members of the De Beers Indirect Purchaser Consumer Subclass – U.S. District Judge Stanley R. Chesler has officially signed an order authorizing the distribution of settlement checks to consumers.
In an order signed May 13, 2013, but filed with the court yesterday, Judge Chesler approved distribution of the De Beers class action settlement fund to consumers who submitted a valid Claim Form by the original deadline of May 19, 2008 and for those who submitted late claims on or before March 1, 2013.

Heart Disease Patients Face Possibly Fatal Zithromax Side Effects
By John Curran

They found that the numbers matched up reasonably well, with 16 people dying while on the generic and 17 people dying either from Zithromax side effects or other causes.
