What to Know About Lawsuits Against Merck & Co. (HPV Vaccine)

As the manufacturer of the Gardasil “HPV” vaccine, Merck & Co. has a general responsibility to ensure that it is properly tested, safely produced, and that consumers have reasonable warnings about the potential side effects. The pharmaceutical giant is currently facing a number of different lawsuits that allege serious autoimmune and neurological issues caused by the vaccine. 

Notably, the lawsuits have been filed in various jurisdictions—with a significant number of cases currently being heard in the Western District of North Carolina. It matters because that specific federal court has been selected as the venue for multidistrict litigation (MDL). Multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a legal process that consolidates multiple civil cases involving similar questions of fact to one federal district court for pretrial proceedings to improve efficiency.
