Below, please find information on the Blood Reagents Direct Purchaser Antitrust Settlement which we believe is applicable to your organization.
The plaintiffs claim that the defendants’ alleged conduct violated federal antitrust law which resulted in individuals and other entities paying more for Traditional Blood Reagents than they normally should have.
Blood Reagents are products which test, match, detect, screen, diagnose and/ or otherwise identify certain properties of the cell and serum components of human blood. Traditional Blood Reagents are primarily used to test blood manually in test tubes. In contrast, proprietary blood reagents are primarily used to test blood in automated and/ or semi-automated platforms.
Your company is likely eligible if you purchased Traditional Blood Reagents in the United States directly from either of the defendants during the period of November 4, 2000 through October 19, 2015. Even if you meet the above requirements, you are not a member of the class if you are a federal government entity, the defendant, defendant’s parent, subsidiary or affiliated company.
The defendants are Immucor, Inc (Immocor) and Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (Ortho) and have settled for $41.5 million. The claim filing deadline has not been set.
For the purpose of this settlement, the definition of Traditional Blood Reagents does not include Ortho’s 0.8% red blood cell reagents and the certified class includes purchases of only Traditional Blood Reagents; the certified class does not include purchases of proprietary blood reagents and/or Ortho’s 0.8% red blood cell reagents.
