Statute of limitations — Ohio
Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10 provides a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The discovery rule applies for bodily injuries caused by ethical drugs and ethical medical devices — the clock begins when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the injury and its causal connection to Tepezza. Ohio has a 10-year statute of repose for product liability, but this is not yet a factor for Tepezza cases given the drug's 2020 approval.

Filing venue
Where to File in Ohio
Federal Tepezza cases from Ohio are transferred to the MDL in the Northern District of Illinois (MDL No. 3079). Ohio state court claims may proceed in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), Franklin County (Columbus), or Hamilton County (Cincinnati) courts of common pleas. Ohio specifically applies the discovery rule to injuries from ethical drugs under § 2305.10, which is favorable for Tepezza claimants who may not have connected hearing loss to the medication until post-market research emerged.
