Actos Bladder Cancer Victim Seeks $10M in Damages
By Matt O’Donnell
Â
Plaintiff Wanda Heavey alleges in the Actos bladder cancer lawsuit that she started using Actos in January 2005 for the treatment of her type II diabetes, and used it as prescribed until about 2010. Heavey was diagnosed with bladder cancer in December 2010, which her Actos lawyer claims was directly caused by taking the diabetes drug. She now fears for her life, and is seeking $10 million in damages from Takeda. Heavey’s original case was filed on June 12, 2012 by her Actos lawyer in the Eastern District of New York, but was transferred to the Actos lawsuit MDL in the Western District of Louisiana on July 12, 2012, where it joins many other Actos bladder cancer lawsuits seeking damages for Actos injuries.
