April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.
CLAIM UPDATES
A series of claims have emerged against the manufacturers of Bard PowerPort, and other medical port devices, alleging design flaws that result in issues with the catheter's ChronoFlex material, leading to fissures, fractures, and cracks. These design defects have been identified as the cause behind a rising number of severe injuries and incidents of catheter fracturing. In such cases, small fragments of the catheter become detached within the patient's vascular system, resulting in serious outcomes like fatalities, infections, blood clots, and the necessity for emergency surgical procedures to remove the fragments.
These port catheter claims parallel other instances where claims have been made in recent times regarding flawed designs of port catheters. The allegations contend that the significant harm caused by these defects could have been prevented either through the implementation of a safer alternative design or by issuing a recall for the medical port devices, thus notifying both patients and medical professionals of the potential risks.

Complications & Injuries
The components of power port catheters have been associated with cases in which small fragments of the catheter's plastic tubing detach and enter the vascular systems of patients. This occurrence has given rise to significant health concerns, potentially even endangering patients' lives. Claims have cited instances of port devices migrating within the body or blood vessels, leading to a range of adverse effects. Furthermore, the design of devices may contribute to the development of infections around areas where the catheter has degraded or broken. This situation can result in grave complications and treatment delays, especially for patients dealing with underlying conditions such as cancer.
These dislodged or fractured catheter tubing pieces have resulted in a number of serious and potentially life-threatening health complications and effects including:
