Class Action Authorized For People In Canada Who Used ABILIFY® And Experienced Impulse Control Disorders Français
MONTREAL, Jan. 6, 2020 /CNW/ -- Consumer Law Group announces a class action has been authorized on behalf of all Canadians who took ABILIFY® before February 23, 2017 and developed one or more of the following alleged Impulse-Control Disorders: PATHOLOGICAL GAMBLING, COMPULSIVE EATING/BINGE EATING, COMPULSIVE SHOPPING OR SPENDING and/or HYPERSEXUAL BEHAVIOURS/SEXUAL ADDICTION.
