In 2007, the FDA made it compulsory for the Actos drug manufacturer that each and every product of Actos should carry a Black Box Warning. The warning should state all type-2 diabetic patients to take precaution to the use of Actos. As it may cause many side-effects like cardiac arrest, allergic eruption, ketoacidosis and hyperglycemia, but it did not mention the harmful effects of that Actos in terms of producing the risk of bladder cancer in the patients taking Actos. Later, in June 2011, the FDA, somehow, observed the cases that refer patients suffering from Actos bladder cancer. Following such observation, the FDA declared that patients taking Actos for more than a year or at high dose are exposable to bladder cancer. Following such declaration the first actos class action lawsuit was filed in August, 2011, claiming compensation for a patient whose clinical reports suggested that he had Actos bladder cancer. At present, the number of Actos class action lawsuit under Actos lawyers is increasing rapidly.
