Plaintiff Cites Link Between Actos And Bladder Cancer

As Actos litigation increases across the country, a new lawsuit alleges that the plaintiff suffered bladder cancer as a direct result of his prolonged exposure to Actos, which he took pursuant to his doctor’s orders from 2004 though 2011.
Plaintiff Lloyd Atkinson, through his Actos lawyer, filed his case on June 22, 2012, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. Atkinson names Takeda Pharmaceuticals and others as defendants.
