The short answer

Statutes of limitations for TRT lawsuits vary by state — typically 2–3 years from injury discovery. Florida reduced its SOL to 2 years effective March 2023.

The 2014 FDA Drug Safety Communication may trigger the discovery rule clock in some states. Filing a Short Form Complaint in MDL 2545 provides tolling protection. Endo bankruptcy trust claims have court-set deadlines. If your cardiac event was more than 18 months ago, contact an attorney immediately.

There is no single federal filing deadline for testosterone therapy lawsuits — each state's statute of limitations governs individually. Most states allow 2–3 years from the date you knew or should have known your cardiovascular injury was linked to TRT use. Illinois (MDL jurisdiction) allows 2 years. New York allows 3 years. Florida reduced its SOL from 4 to 2 years effective March 24, 2023 under SB 236.

Plaintiffs who file a Short Form Complaint in MDL 2545 receive tolling protection under case management orders — the state SOL clock is paused while the case is in MDL inventory. However, plaintiffs who delay filing even a Short Form Complaint risk SOL expiration. The 2015 FDA black box warning may have started the discovery rule clock in many states. If you suffered a TRT cardiac event before 2023, treat your deadline as urgent.
