Actavis Totowa a New Jersey based company, earlier in the year started a nationwide recall of all strengths of the Digitek pills, which are distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and UDL Laboratories Inc.

Ronald Luri, 55, alleged that Republic Services Inc. of retaliation and of forging documents critical of his job performance after he refused to fire three of his employees — all about 60 years old — on the grounds that such actions would constitute age discrimination.
The jury awarded Luri $3.5 million as compensation for his lost wages as general manager of Republic’s Cleveland division, and $43.1 million in punitive damages as punishment for the company’s treatment of Luri.
Two months after a Digitek recall was issued due to manufacturing problems that allowed double strength tablets to be commercially released, at least three lawsuits have been filed. A number of additional cases are expected to be filed in the coming weeks, as hundreds of potential cases are currently being investigated throughout the country by individuals who are trying to determine if they may be entitled to compensation through a Digitek lawsuit.
Many people have described problems that surfaced during the months around the recall, but some have reported problems consistent with a Digitek overdose as early as 2006. Since the manufacturer has released very little information about the extent of the Digitek problems, all cases are being reviewed to determine if injuries could have caused by the manufacturing problems.
The Texas Medical Board implemented this month, the Licensure Inquiry System of Texas, (LIST), an online license application tracking system that is designed to reduce the time required to process and issue physician licenses in Texas.
