Statute of Limitations for Standard Process Cataplex C, ACP, Pancreatrophin PMG Recall Lawsuits
Time is critical when pursuing legal action for supplement contamination cases. The statute of limitations sets strict deadlines for filing lawsuits, and these deadlines vary significantly by state and type of claim.
Most states allow between 2-6 years from the date of injury or discovery of the contamination to file a lawsuit. Personal injury claims typically range from 2-3 years, while product liability and breach of warranty claims may have longer time limits.
Many states follow the “discovery rule,” which means the statute of limitations begins when you first experienced symptoms or reasonably discovered that your illness was caused by the contaminated supplements.

A good way to ensure that a dietary supplement is not contaminated is to purchase products with labels indicating they have been tested by either the independent, nonprofit US Pharmacopoeial (USP) Convention Dietary Supplement Verification Program or ConsumerLab.com.
