As of the September 1, 2026 JPML report, 4,022 actions were pending in MDL 3094, involving gastrointestinal-injury claims, and 216 were pending in MDL 3163, involving NAION vision-loss claims. Both proceedings are before Judge Karen S. Marston in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The comment period on FDA's proposal not to include semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide on the 503B bulks list closed July 30, 2026. The tirzepatide and semaglutide shortage-decision appeals were affirmed by the Fifth Circuit.

What is the current status of GLP-1 lawsuits and FDA enforcement?

Answer: The latest JPML report reviewed lists 4,022 pending actions in MDL 3094 and 216 in MDL 3163, as of September 1, 2026. FDA's 503B bulks-list proposal is no longer in its comment period: the extended deadline was July 30. No final determination on that proposal was identified in the FDA/Federal Register sources checked, and no MDL-wide settlement or bellwether trial date was identified in the MDL 3094 and MDL 3163 public EDPA orders reviewed September 25, 2026. The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district-court judgments in the tirzepatide and semaglutide shortage challenges August 27; the semaglutide opinion was revised September 1.

Three caveats

MDL is not a class action. Multidistrict litigation is a procedural tool that consolidates similar federal lawsuits before one judge for pretrial proceedings, with each individual case keeping its own identity.

Warning letters are not final determinations. FDA warning letters describe the agency's position at the time of issuance — matters may have been resolved through later interaction, response, or closeout.

Editorial reads are ours, not the court's. Anything labeled "editorial" is our reading of the verified facts above it, not a regulatory or judicial finding.

How many GLP-1 GI injury lawsuits are pending in MDL 3094?

Answer: MDL 3094 (In Re: Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs) Products Liability Litigation) consolidates federal lawsuits alleging gastrointestinal injuries involving GLP-1 drugs. It was centralized in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in February 2024. The September 1, 2026 JPML report lists 4,022 pending actions and 4,056 total historical actions. No MDL-wide settlement or bellwether trial date was identified in the public EDPA orders reviewed September 25, 2026; this is not a search of every docket entry or private settlement.

What injuries does MDL 3094 cover?

The claims include gastroparesis, ileus and bowel obstruction that plaintiffs allege were caused by GLP-1 drugs. Allegations are not findings of causation.

Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach takes much longer than normal to empty, causing severe nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Ileus is when the intestines stop moving food normally, which can cause blockage. Bowel obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the small or large intestine. All three can require hospitalization. Plaintiffs allege the labels for these drugs did not adequately warn about these risks at the time they were prescribed.

Key MDL 3094 rulings (running list)

Answer: A mirrored text rendition of the August 15, 2025 MDL 3094 order (Doc. 468) says a plaintiff claiming current or past gastroparesis must show that the diagnosis was based on a properly performed gastric-emptying study: scintigraphy, breath test or wireless motility capsule. This is a diagnostic-support requirement, not a finding that a GLP-1 drug caused an individual injury. The accompanying memorandum (Doc. 467) was not independently accessible in this review, so no conclusion about the order's likely impact is attributed to it. The court's August 28, 2026 scheduling order is the latest hearing-schedule development covered here.

Why the August 15 diagnostic ruling matters

Before August 15, 2025, plaintiffs could allege drug-induced gastroparesis based on symptoms alone. After Judge Marston's order, they need an objective medical test — a gastric emptying study (GES), a breath test, or a wireless motility capsule study — that documented delayed gastric emptying at the time they were diagnosed. This is a meaningful evidentiary filter on which cases can move forward.

MDL 3094 pending-action history

Selected dated JPML reports. Pending actions are not unique people, proven injuries or new filings; months absent from this series have not been estimated.

From June 1 to September 1, 2026, MDL 3094's pending-action count increased by 259 and MDL 3163's by 106. From August 3 to September 1, the respective net changes were 94 and 16. These are changes in pending actions, not counts of new filings or unique plaintiffs. The reports do not establish why the counts changed. June, August and September reports.

What's next on the MDL 3094 docket

The August 28 scheduling order set the Rule 702 hearing on cross-cutting issues 2 and 3 for September 14–18, replacing an earlier September 10–18 window. That was an expert-evidence hearing schedule, not a bellwether trial date. This review did not establish the hearing's occurrence or outcome or identify a resulting decision in the public orders reviewed. The April 30 conference schedule lists October 13, November 17 and December 15, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. in Courtroom 16B as the remaining scheduled status conferences.

How many GLP-1 NAION vision-loss lawsuits are pending in MDL 3163?

Answer: MDL 3163 (In Re: Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs) Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Products Liability Litigation) consolidates federal lawsuits alleging that GLP-1 medicines caused NAION vision loss; those are claims, not findings of causation. The JPML centralized it in December 2025 before Judge Karen S. Marston in E.D. Pa. The September 1, 2026 JPML report lists 216 pending actions and 216 total historical actions.

What is NAION, in plain English?

NAION stands for non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, it is the most common acute optic neuropathy in adults over 50, caused by reduced blood flow to the front of the optic nerve. Damage typically causes painless, sudden vision loss in one eye — often noticed on waking — and the loss is frequently permanent. It is distinct from glaucoma, retinal detachment, or a stroke.

In June 2025, the European Medicines Agency's Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee recommended updating product information for semaglutide medicines — Ozempic, Rybelsus and Wegovy — to include NAION as a "very rare" side effect (up to 1 in 10,000 people). That regulatory action does not resolve the individual claims in MDL 3163.

How is MDL 3163 different from MDL 3094?

A common confusion: people refer to "the Ozempic lawsuit" as if it's one thing. There are two MDLs covering different injuries — same judge, same court, but different dockets, different evidence, and different scientific theories.

Which FDA warning letters have been issued for compounded GLP-1 marketing?

Answer: FDA announced warning letters to 30 telehealth companies on March 3, 2026 concerning marketing of compounded GLP-1 products. This table is a selected set of individually verified FDA letters, not a complete count of March or June recipients. FDA's allegations in warning letters are not final judicial findings. The separate March 5 Novo Nordisk letter concerned postmarketing adverse-drug-experience reporting, not telehealth marketing.

FDA adverse-event update

As of May 31, 2026, FDA reported 990 adverse-event reports associated with compounded semaglutide and more than 730 associated with compounded tirzepatide. FDA cautions that events may be underreported and that the reports do not always establish that the drug caused the event. These are reports, not incidence rates.

What is the status of the 503B bulks list proposal for semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide?

Answer: FDA's May 1, 2026 Federal Register notice proposed not including semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide on the Section 503B bulks list (Docket FDA-2018-N-3240). The original June 30 comment deadline was extended June 26 to July 30, 2026; that period is closed. No final determination was identified in the FDA/Federal Register sources checked through September 25, 2026. A proposal is not a final rule or a blanket determination about every compounding scenario.

Deadline correction

The May 1 notice originally set June 30, 2026; the later June 26 Federal Register notice extended the deadline to July 30, 2026. An earlier tracker version incorrectly used December 31. See the change log.

Context

FDA's policy clarification describes separate 503B bulk-substance and shortage-list conditions, with other statutory requirements. The proposal concerns the bulks list; it should not be read as a new blanket ban on all compounding.

Under Section 503A, patient-specific prescriptions and limits on essentially copies of commercially available products apply; a prescriber-documented significant difference for an identified patient may matter. A prescription or a marketing claim of personalization alone does not prove compliance. See FDA's clarification.

OFA v. FDA: Legal challenges to compounded GLP-1 enforcement

Answer: OFA and FarmaKeio challenged FDA's shortage-resolution decisions for tirzepatide and semaglutide. After the 2025 district-court rulings shown below, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the tirzepatide judgment and affirmed the semaglutide judgment on August 27, 2026; the semaglutide opinion was revised September 1. The appeals were decided separately and do not resolve the product-liability claims in either MDL. In the semaglutide appeal, the court described any notice-and-comment error as harmless, not categorically unnecessary.

Novo Nordisk v. Hims & Hers: Filed, then dismissed

Answer: Novo Nordisk filed Novo Nordisk A/S et al. v. Hims & Hers Health, Inc. et al., No. 1:26-cv-00143, in February 2026 in the District of Delaware. Hims' Q2 2026 Form 10-Q says Novo voluntarily dismissed all claims without prejudice on March 9 and the court closed the case, reserving the right to refile. This commercial dispute is separate from the patient-injury MDLs. The same filing says Hims was notified in February of a SEC staff investigation concerning public statements and disclosures about compounded semaglutide and related business relationships; an investigation is not a finding of wrongdoing.

Frequently asked questions

About these answers

Each answer below is written to stand on its own — short, neutral, primary-source-backed. Use them. They're built to be quoted.

How many GLP-1 lawsuits are pending in MDL 3094?

As of the September 1, 2026 JPML report, MDL 3094 had 4,022 pending actions and 4,056 total historical actions. These are federal MDL action counts, not all GLP-1 lawsuits nationwide or a count of unique injured people.

What's the difference between MDL 3094 and MDL 3163?

MDL 3094 covers gastrointestinal-injury claims; MDL 3163 covers NAION vision-loss claims. They are separate proceedings before the same judge. The September 1, 2026 JPML report lists 4,022 pending actions in MDL 3094 and 216 in MDL 3163.

Sources: S01 · S11 · S12

Is the Ozempic lawsuit a class action?

MDL 3094 and MDL 3163 consolidate separate federal lawsuits for pretrial proceedings. An MDL is not itself a class action. That does not mean every other lawsuit involving a GLP-1 company is an individual personal-injury case.

Sources: S17 · S11

Is there a GLP-1 lawsuit settlement yet?

No MDL-wide settlement was identified in the public EDPA orders reviewed September 25, 2026 for MDL 3094 or MDL 3163. This does not rule out private individual settlements or developments outside the reviewed sources. The Novo-Hims commercial dispute is a separate matter.

Has a GLP-1 bellwether trial been scheduled?

No bellwether trial date was identified in the public EDPA orders reviewed September 25, 2026. MDL 3094's August 28 order scheduled a Rule 702 hearing for September 14-18, but that is an expert-evidence hearing, not a bellwether trial.

It is FDA's list of bulk drug substances for which the agency has identified a clinical need for use by outsourcing facilities under Section 503B. A separate shortage-list pathway exists, and other statutory conditions apply. FDA's May 2026 proposal concerned not including semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide on the bulks list.

Did Novo Nordisk drop the lawsuit against Hims?

Novo's February 2026 patent lawsuit against Hims was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on March 9, 2026. Hims also disclosed the dismissal in its Q2 Form 10-Q. That dismissal was separate from the patient-injury claims in the two GLP-1 MDLs.

What did the FDA propose on April 30, 2026?

FDA announced a proposal not to include semaglutide, tirzepatide or liraglutide on the 503B bulks list. The notice was published May 1.

What did the FDA do on March 3, 2026?

FDA announced warning letters to 30 telehealth companies concerning illegal marketing of compounded GLP-1 products. The announcement date is distinct from each letter's issuance date, and a warning letter is not a final judicial finding.

Methodology, sources, and corrections

Answer: This tracker is a selected, source-linked research summary, not a complete or continuously updated docket. Counts come from the dated JPML reports; other entries distinguish court orders, agency allegations, SEC disclosures and attributed company claims. The desk reviews monthly after the JPML report and adds material verified developments. Updated and sources-checked dates do not mean every linked source was issued on the same date. We do not represent any party or earn affiliate commissions on this page.

What we include

Source What we pull
JPMLPending action counts (monthly reports), transfer orders, reassignments
Eastern District of Pennsylvania (EDPA)Public MDL 3094 and 3163 orders, case-management and scheduling orders; no complete PACER review is implied
FDA warning letter databaseLetter ID, recipient, date issued, products, substantive allegations
FDA press announcementsRegulatory enforcement actions and policy changes
Federal RegisterProposal and extension notices; searches through September 25 found no subsequent final determination for this proposal, but this does not establish that no action exists elsewhere
SEC EDGAR10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 20-F filings disclosing GLP-1 litigation matters
Company statementsPress releases and investor relations announcements directly issued by parties

What we exclude

We do not include unsourced settlement projections, plaintiff-intake material from law firms without primary-source backing, "who qualifies" legal-advice content, speculative medical claims about causation not adopted by a court or regulatory agency, anonymous social media claims as evidence of fact, or market-status claims sourced only to secondary reporting.

Update cadence

  • Monthly: Review published JPML pending-action reports and material EDPA, FDA, Federal Register and SEC updates after their release.
  • As verified: Add material developments with their source dates. A missed or inaccessible document is not a finding that no event occurred.
  • Source access: Link the underlying public document where accessible and label source indexes or attributed company statements separately.

Corrections are reviewed on weekdays against court, FDA, SEC, or company primary sources, and logged in the change log after verification.

Change log

September 25, 2026 review. Replaced current MDL counts with September 1 JPML observations (4,022/4,056 for MDL 3094; 216/216 for MDL 3163); linked selected historical reports without imputing missing months. Added the August 28 hearing reschedule, MDL 3163 CMO No. 12, Fifth Circuit tirzepatide and semaglutide affirmances, selected individual FDA letters, Hims Q2 filing and attributed Novo-Lilly announcement. Corrected the 503B comment deadline to July 30 using the June 26 extension; the prior tracker incorrectly displayed December 31. Removed an expired review promise, stale hearing window, unsupported complete-dataset claim and unverified June letter-batch total. The diagnostic order was checked via a mirrored text rendition; its accompanying memorandum was not independently accessible. No MDL hearing outcome or final FDA bulks-list determination is asserted.
June 17, 2026 update (historical). The then-current June 1 JPML report listed 3,763 pending / 3,797 historical actions in MDL 3094 and 110 / 110 in MDL 3163. Earlier versions also described the then-scheduled September 10–18 Rule 702 hearing (later rescheduled) and a June warning-letter batch total not independently verified here. These are archival revision notes, not current-status claims.
Initial publication (historical). Recorded May 1 JPML counts of 3,636 pending actions in MDL 3094 and 86 in MDL 3163, and the FDA's May 1 503B proposal. An earlier version's December 31 comment deadline was incorrect; the June 26 extension set July 30, 2026.
