WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A federal judge in New Orleans today issued an order denying a request by VIOXX® users to certify a personal injury class-action lawsuit. The order, issued by U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon, means that VIOXX users who claim they were injured by the medicine must sue only on their own behalf and cannot purport to represent other alleged users. There are no longer any personal injury class-action suits pending in the United States in either federal court or state court.
