Statute of Limitations
Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes 42 Pa. C.S. § 5524 imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims including product liability. The discovery rule applies where the defect or its causal connection was not immediately discoverable — the clock starts when the plaintiff knew or should have known that Tepezza caused the hearing damage. Pennsylvania does not have a statute of repose for pharmaceutical product liability claims.

Where to File in Pennsylvania
Federal Tepezza cases from Pennsylvania are transferred to the MDL in the Northern District of Illinois (MDL No. 3079). Pennsylvania state court claims may proceed in Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas, which has historically been a favorable venue for pharmaceutical litigation. Pennsylvania applies a Frye standard for expert testimony in state courts. The state's strong tradition of pharmaceutical mass tort handling makes it a significant source of Tepezza claims.
