Oxbryta is used to treat many of the debilitating symptoms of sickle cell disease.

Why Are Sickle Cell Patients Suing Oxbryta Manufacturers?
Drug manufacturers are required to provide full and complete disclosure about their drugs and all possible side effects. Our mass tort attorneys are building product liability claims, alleging Pfizer and GBT failed to do so.
What Side Effects Are Being Reported by Patients Who Took Oxbryta?
Sickle cell anemia patients who received a prescription for this medication report the following undisclosed side effects:
- Blood clots and strokes
- Kidney and liver damage
- Painful Vaso-Occlusive (VOC) crises
Taking Oxbryta may also worsen the frequency and intensity of sickle cell disease symptoms. Sadly, some patients’ families report that their loved one passed away after taking Oxbryta.
Did the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Recall Oxbryta?
According to information on the FDA website, as of September 2024, Pfizer voluntarily recalled Oxbryta. As part of its recall, it has asked physicians to stop prescribing the medication due to concerns about its safety. Further, Pfizer is withdrawing Oxbryta from the market, will stop manufacturing it, and will stop all active clinical trials.
What Is a Mass Tort Lawsuit?
Mass torts lawsuits bring a large group of plaintiffs together to seek compensation from a shared defendant. Each plaintiff will have an individual claim and seek a unique set of recoverable damages. Our mass torts team will assess the monetary value of your claim and pursue maximum compensation.
Financial Compensation Our Oxbryta Lawyers Pursue for Injured Clients
Patients whose health suffered due to Oxbryta can require long-term and costly medical care. Our legal team will fight to recover compensation for all the expenses associated with your treatment protocol. We can compel the drug manufacturer to cover your ongoing medical bills by filing an insurance claim or lawsuit on your behalf.
Other damages we pursue for you will include:
- Lost wages: Compensation for your current and future losses of income, loss of benefits and perks, and loss of future earning capacity
- Physical impairment: Compensation for lasting disabilities and physical disfigurement
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional rigors of your damaged health and recovery process
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Compensation for the mental anguish and emotional impact of your Oxbryta-related diagnosis
We also pursue wrongful death damages, where applicable, including funeral expenses, loss of income, loss of household contributions, and loss of consortium, companionship, and care.
Let Our Oxbryta Lawyers Interpret the Statute of Limitations for You
The personal injury and wrongful death statute of limitations depends on the state you live in. For example, the statute of limitations in Florida is generally two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11. While filing your lawsuit on time is mandatory, it is also complicated for the following reasons:
- The filing deadline can toll (or pause) for minors
- The exact date of injury can be difficult to define
Let us handle this critical step for you. If you contact us early enough, our law firm will file your lawsuit on time to ensure we can take your case to court if an acceptable settlement is not forthcoming.
