2 years from BIA-ALCL diagnosis or discovery of BIOCELL connection
Filing Venue
Where to File in Connecticut
Connecticut plaintiffs with Allergan BIOCELL claims file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey — a neighboring district. Connecticut has a 2-year product liability and personal injury limitation period under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-584, applying from the date of discovery. Hartford, Stamford, and New Haven cosmetic surgery markets placed BIOCELL products during the recall era. Connecticut's proximity to New Jersey makes participation in the MDL straightforward for Connecticut plaintiffs and their counsel.
