Tuesday, May 5, 2015 - Attorneys representing men in testosterone lawsuits alleging heart attack and stroke announce a testosterone lawsuit news update: according to court documents, the testosterone producers deny all allegations of wrongdoing.* More than 1300 testosterone lawsuits have been filed as part of MDL 2546, Testosterone Replacement Product Liability Litigation, making common allegations that testosterone replacement products such as Androgel and Testim have caused heart attacks and strokes in men, according to court documents.

"We are undeterred by this most recent development in testosterone lawsuits," comments Jim Onder, whose Onder Law Firm is representing numerous clients in testosterone lawsuits seeking compensation for alleged heart attack or stroke. "The across-the-board denial of plaintiffs‘ allegations may dishearten the average consumer, but this is a typical stage of the legal process in product liability lawsuits. I hesitate to say this is not news; it does indicate that testosterone lawsuits are moving forward. However, this development does not give any indication of how testosterone lawsuits will progress.

"What we do know is that the FDA has recently warned doctors and patients of the potential risks of both venous and arterial blood clots arising from testosterone replacement therapy.** Men and the families of men who have filed testosterone lawsuits used the products prior to the FDA warnings, according to court documents, and allege they were not made aware of the potential risks, Onder says."

The FDA issued two warning during 2014 regarding potential health risks posed by testosterone replacement therapies. The first FDA testosterone safety advisory, issued on January 31, 2014, announced that federal regulators were launching an investigation of the potential for an elevated risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiac events based on new research.** Then on June 19, 2014, the FDA required testosterone makers to add a warning to the product label regarding the danger of venous blood clots stemming from testosterone replacement therapy.**
