Where to File in Oregon
Oregon has a 2-year personal injury statute under ORS § 12.110 with the discovery rule. Oregon plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Oregon state court (Multnomah County Circuit Court for Portland-area plaintiffs) is available as an alternative venue. Portland and Bend are active cosmetic surgery markets in the Pacific Northwest. The Pacific region — California, Oregon, and Washington — accounts for approximately 37% of U.S. breast augmentation volume nationally, reflecting a large BIOCELL implant exposure population. BIA-ALCL diagnoses in Oregon from 2024 onward are within the 2-year window.
