Liability Considerations in Houston
Texas courts apply a two-year statute of limitations for product liability claims, but the discovery rule extends the clock for plaintiffs who only recently linked their diagnosis to Allergan BIOCELL implants. MDL 2921 consolidates these claims before Judge Martinotti in New Jersey, streamlining discovery against Allergan and parent company AbbVie.
