On June 9, 2009, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) issued an order centralizing In re: Denture Cream Product Liability Litigation, MDL-2051, in the Southern District of Florida before Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga, who the JPML said "has the time and experience to steer this litigation on a prudent course."
The JPML concluded that transfer under "Section 1407 will eliminate duplicative discovery; prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings; conserve the resources of the parties, their counsel and the judiciary." The court highlighted that "[t]hese actions share questions of fact arising out of the allegation that the levels of zinc contained in certain brands of denture cream can cause copper deficiency and neurological injuries."
Bernstein Liebhard's denture cream lawyers are pursuing denture cream lawsuits against the manufacturers of Poligrip and Fixodent.
The first MDL status conference is scheduled for July 8, 2009 in Miami, Florida.
The firm's work for consumers injured by zinc in denture cream has been the focus of national press coverage, including a nationally televised segment on Good Morning America and a segment on Court Radio.
