Statute of Limitations
Colorado: 2 years from discovery of injury (C.R.S. § 13-80-102)
2 years from BIA-ALCL diagnosis or discovery of BIOCELL connection
Where to File in Colorado
Colorado plaintiffs with Allergan BIOCELL claims file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Colorado applies a 2-year personal injury statute under C.R.S. § 13-80-102 with the discovery rule. Denver and Boulder rank among the Mountain West's most active cosmetic surgery markets, with substantial Natrelle 410 and BIOCELL textured implant placement during the 2005–2019 period. BIA-ALCL diagnoses in Colorado from 2024 onward are within the 2-year limitation period. Women in Colorado who had post-mastectomy reconstruction with BIOCELL tissue expanders at Colorado cancer centers should also evaluate their claims.
