Risperdal Lawsuits Continue Despite Recent Ruling – Last month, the judge overseeing consolidated litigation related to Risperdal side effects ruled that Janssen Pharmaceuticals will not be liable for punitive damages.

Naked Juice Class Action Settlement Money in the Mail – Naked Juice customers who participated in a class action settlement last summer over deceptive marketing claims are starting to receive checks in the mail.

Computer Chip Price-Fixing Class Action Settlement Gets Final Approval – A California federal judge has given final approval to a $310 million class action settlement that will resolve allegations that the makers of computer memory chips conspired to fix the prices of dynamic random-access memory chips (DRAM).

Morcellation Cancer Lawsuit Alleges Surgery Spread Disease – A woman who was undergoing uterine fibroid removal surgery with a laparoscopic powermorcellator alleges the device spread cancerous cells throughout her body.

Januvia Lawsuit Alleges Drug Causes Pancreatic Cancer – According to a Januvia lawsuit, the type-2 diabetes drug caused a man to develop pancreatic cancer.

Update from the President and CEO of Top Class Actions
Good morning everyone! I hope you enjoyed your week and are busy preparing for the long holiday weekend! Last week was a crazy one for us. I had to chase down all of our clients and see which campaigns are being renewed and which ones need work or new firms attached to them. It’s a stressful time! I used to have long term contracts, but, I found that attorneys are happy to sign them, and happy to tell you to “stuff it!” if they’re not happy. That means EVERYONE is month to month now. It REALLY motivates me and my team to produce results EVERY SINGLE MONTH! If we aren’t producing results for our clients they leave. If we’re producing solid results they stick around. It’s high stress for me, but, it’s a living!
Leading an internet company where everyone works virtually is ALWAYS interesting. I had a team call this morning and our Managing Editor, Anne Bucher, was on it. Anne has worked with Top Class Actions for years, but, this was the very first time we’ve spoken on the phone. Heck, she’s been full time with us since May, but because she’s worked with us so long as a writer there wasn’t any kind of interview process. It was just “We need you, would you like to join us?” along with the typical salary negotiation (she kicked my butt for the record.) It’s interesting because she spells her name “Anne” but everyone calls her “Annie” when speaking with her. I had no idea. A valuable member of my team for YEARS and I didn’t know how to properly pronounce her name. It’s a sign of this virtual world, but, also a reminder I should get ALL of my writers on the phone on occasion. I think it’s important that you can pronounce your team’s names correctly! Lesson learned! We’ll see what I learn THIS week!
That’s all for now! Here are some other lawsuit and settlement updates!
