“While Bayer has been aware of this issue for decades, they have failed to warn of the condition to the medical community and consumers. Being a husband and father I am deeply concerned by the number of drugs and devices that have become problematic in the recent past,” said Mathews. “Recently, we have seen numerous birth control products and feminine hygiene products causing horrific consequences for the wonderful women of this country. This has to stop. I am proud to stand side by side with some of the best women and men in the legal profession to continue to fight these multi-billion dollar companies.”
As a member of the Plaintiff Steering Committee, Mathews will be working to prepare the cases for trial through conducting discovery, participating in depositions and presenting arguments to the court. Additionally, he will continue to work with clients in attempting to hold the defendants responsible for the alleged wrongdoing. At Gori Julian & Associates, Mathews is head of the firm’s Mass Tort and Class Action Litigation Departments.
