On July 8, 2020, Senior U.S. District Judge Sidney Fitzwater signed and approved the final accounting filed in the E-Ferol class action. (ECF 879) Once the cy pres donations have been received and receipts returned, that will conclude this litigation.
We appreciate the cooperation of everyone involved, including Judge Fitzwater, court staff, Wichita Falls Division Clerk and staff, Dr. Robert Brown, M.D., Dr. Carl J. Bodenstein, M.D., Dr. Kevin Bove, M.D., Dr. William J. Martone, M.D., and numerous others who cooperated in conjunction with this litigation. We sincerely hope that, in addition to providing some explanation and compensation to the victims of the E-Ferol tragedy, that it will be a lesson to the future to require the proper testing and approval before pharmaceutical products are distributed to the public.
Art Brender, Lead Class Counsel
Dwain Dent and Fred L. Streck, III, Class Counsel
