Protecting Consumer Interest In Class Actions
Class actions can be an effective way to remedy consumer injury and deter corporate wrongdoing. Rolling individual injuries into a single legal action can vindicate consumer rights that might otherwise go without remedy. And the class action device can enable the private bar to seek resolution for some problems that government consumer protection agencies may not have the resources to pursue.
Sometimes, however, class actions do not serve the goals for which they were created, and the interests of private class attorneys and defendants appear to merge to the detriment of the class members. Class members may be offered coupons or other benefits without clear and complete information to judge their value, while defendants obtain broad releases and class counsel receive generous fees
Vioxx is one of the recalled drugs that has caused a major class action lawsuit.
The class action lawsuit against Merck will include individuals in the United States who used Vioxx between May 20, 1999 and September 30, 2004 for at least six consecutive weeks. Currently, Merck is facing more than 27,000 Vioxx lawsuits, which the company plans to litigate individually.
