Evolence-Canadian Class Action

Case ID: 5683

Category: Drugs / Medical

Last Update: 11/18/2009

Country:

Toronto law firm McPhadden Samac Tuovi announced that it has commenced a proposed class action against Johnson & Johnson and related companies relative to the injectable collagen dermal filler Evolence.

The Evolence claim involves people who were injected with Evolence and allegedly developed side effects that in some cases included disfiguring nodule formation. It is alleged that Johnson & Johnson and related companies failed to warn the public about the potential of these adverse effects.

The plaintiff is Mara Micevic of Oakville, Ontario. Ms. Micevic says that she was injected with Evolence to eliminate, or at least reduce, wrinkles around her mouth. She wanted to look better and instead ended up with painful and visible nodules in her lips. Ms. Micevic says that she was not aware beforehand that Evolence might have this effect on her.

The claim is on behalf of all residents of Canada who were injected with Evolence and allege that they suffered injuries and damages.

The amount claimed is $15 million.
