Filing Venue
Where to File in North Dakota
North Dakota has a 6-year statute of limitations for product liability actions under N.D. Cent. Code § 28-01-16 — one of the longest in the country. North Dakota plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. The Fargo cosmetic surgery market placed Allergan BIOCELL products during the 2005–2019 period. North Dakota's long limitations period provides protection for BIA-ALCL diagnoses from 2020 onward for North Dakota claimants.
