Kansas Cipro Class Action Settlement Checks Mailed

Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks in the mail from a class action settlement that accused Bayer, and other companies, of engaging in antitrust activity to keep generic versions of Cipro from being available in the State of Kansas.

According to comments and posts on the Top Class Actions Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the Kansas Cipro class action settlement began receiving checks worth as much as $5,000 on March 30, 2017.

If you filed a claim for the Kansas Cipro settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!

The $4.5 million class action settlement resolves allegations that Bayer AG, and others, conspired to keep less expensive versions of Cipro from being available to Kansas consumers.

According to the class action lawsuit, the defendants violated Kansas’ antitrust and consumer protection laws by not allowing generic versions of Cipro (ciprofloxacin) on the state’s pharmaceutical market.

Bayer denied the allegations but agreed to settle the lawsuit in order to avoid the risk and cost of further litigation.

Class Members included all “persons and entities who bought the prescription antibiotic drug Cipro in Kansas between January 8, 1997 and October 31, 2004.”

The deadline to file a claim for the Kansas Cipro class action settlement passed on July 31, 2016.
