Ozempic & GLP-1 Drug Litigation:
MDL 3094 Expands as Discovery Intensifies

Thousands of patients who suffered gastroparesis, intestinal obstruction, and severe GI injuries after using Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and related drugs are now part of a rapidly expanding federal MDL. Bellwether trials are expected in 2027. Our firm is accepting cases nationwide.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have exploded in popularity for diabetes and weight loss — but thousands of patients have reported severe gastrointestinal injuries including gastroparesis (stomach paralysis), intestinal blockage, cyclic vomiting, and pancreatitis. Plaintiffs allege manufacturers knew of these risks and failed to adequately warn patients and prescribers, leading to one of the fastest-growing drug injury MDLs in the country.

  • Plaintiff and prescriber depositions underway — early bellwether pool deponents are being scheduled and examined
  • Core failure-to-warn theories intact — early Rule 12(b)(6) motions focused on preemption and labeling challenges have largely been resolved in plaintiffs’ favor
  • Daubert briefing approaching — causation battles on gastroparesis and motility disorders will be the next major inflection point
  • Bellwether trials expected in 2027 — early verdicts will set the standard for case values across the MDL
