What the litigation alleges
The tracked claims concern prescription drug injury claim (federal mdl), including gastroparesis and severe gastrointestinal injuries. These are allegations; defendants dispute liability and causation.
Stage and bellwether status
The court held the Rule 702 evidentiary hearing on September 14–18, 2026. An October 8 order scheduled closing arguments for October 13. The public orders list reviewed November 10 contains no later Rule 702 ruling or bellwether trial setting. The April 30 amended conference order schedules a November 17, 2026 status conference at 1 p.m. in Courtroom 16B; the October 8 order leaves November and December conferences unchanged. A status conference or expert-evidence hearing is not a trial. NAION vision-loss claims proceed separately in MDL-3163.
Settlement status
The public MDL-3094 orders list reviewed November 10, 2026 does not announce a GLP-1 injury settlement program or official payout schedule. That public list is not a complete live PACER docket.
Individual claims: The Eastern District of Pennsylvania public MDL orders reviewed October 11, 2026 do not announce a GLP-1 injury settlement program or official payout amounts. The Rule 702 proceeding concerns expert evidence, not settlement eligibility or an individual award.
