Statute of Limitations
The New Jersey Products Liability Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:58C) imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The discovery rule applies — the clock starts when the plaintiff knew or reasonably should have known about the hearing injury and its connection to Tepezza treatment. New Jersey has a 10-year statute of repose for product liability, but since Tepezza was first sold in 2020, this deadline is not yet applicable.

Where to File in New Jersey
Federal Tepezza cases from New Jersey are transferred to the MDL in the Northern District of Illinois (MDL No. 3079). New Jersey state court claims may proceed in Bergen, Essex, or Middlesex County Superior Courts. New Jersey is one of the most experienced pharmaceutical litigation jurisdictions in the country, having hosted the Elmiron MDL (2973) and numerous other drug injury proceedings. The state applies a modified Daubert standard for expert testimony under N.J.R.E. 702.
