LONDON, Ontario & REGINA, Saskatchewan & QUEBEC CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--James Boyd of Siskinds LLP, E.F. Anthony Merchant K.C. of Merchant Law Group, and Chloé Faucher-Lafrance of Siskinds Desmeules, Avocats announce that a Canada-wide settlement has been reached in three class actions relating to the prescription drugs Invokana®, Invokamet®, and Invokamet XR®. The Settlement of the Proceedings has been approved by the Courts. The Defendants deny all allegations and deny any wrongdoing or liability.

If you were prescribed Invokana®, Invokamet®, and Invokamet XR® at any time on or before June 15, 2022 (in the case of a Saskatchewan Class Member), on or before June 16, 2022 (in the case of an Ontario Class Member), or on or before June 21, 2022 (in the case of a Quebec Class Member), you may be entitled to compensation if you also had experienced acute kidney injury, diabetic ketoacidosis, or lower limb loss, within the specified timeframes in the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement provides for the payment of $1,500,000, which will be used to pay approved claims, the related claims of the Provincial Health Insurers, the costs of notice and administering the settlement, and Class Counsel legal fees, disbursements, and applicable taxes.

The Court has approved a Compensation Protocol that determines which Class Members are eligible for compensation and in what amount. For more information about how compensation is determined, you should review the Long-Form Notice, Compensation Protocol, Settlement Agreement and related documents at http://www.invokanacanadasettlement.com.

To make a claim for compensation under the Settlement Agreement, you must complete and submit a Claim Form (including the necessary supporting evidence detailed in the Compensation Protocol) to the Claims Administrator before Claims Bar Deadline of August 14, 2023.

If you do NOT submit your Claim Form on time, you will not be eligible for any benefits under the Settlement Agreement.

The Claim Form requires that you provide medical records which can be time consuming to retrieve.

You can retain Class Counsel or a lawyer of your choice.
