5 years from BIA-ALCL diagnosis or discovery of BIOCELL injury connection
Where to File in Missouri
Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for product liability claims under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120 — one of the longer windows among Midwestern states. Missouri plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey or may pursue claims in Missouri state court (St. Louis City Circuit Court or Jackson County Circuit Court for Kansas City area plaintiffs). St. Louis and Kansas City plastic surgery markets placed Allergan BIOCELL products during the 2005–2019 period. Missouri's 5-year window means BIA-ALCL diagnoses from 2021 onward are within the limitations period for Missouri claimants.
