3 years from BIA-ALCL diagnosis or discovery of BIOCELL connection
Filing Venue
Where to File in New Mexico
New Mexico has a 3-year personal injury statute under N.M. Stat. Ann. § 37-1-8, applying from the date of discovery. New Mexico plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Albuquerque and Santa Fe plastic surgery markets placed Allergan BIOCELL products during the 2005–2019 period. New Mexico's 3-year window means BIA-ALCL diagnoses from 2023 onward are within the limitations period.
