If you purchased or paid for asthma inhalers in the past several years, you may be owed money.
A $35,000,000 class action settlement has been reached involving allegations against Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. related to QVAR and QVAR Redihaler inhalers.
This settlement is designed to compensate consumers and payors who may have paid inflated prices between 2015 and 2025.
Below is a simple breakdown of what you need to know and how to file a claim.
Why is there a lawsuit?
The lawsuit alleges that Teva took actions to delay generic competition for QVAR inhalers.
These actions included:
Allegedly listing patents in the FDA “Orange Book” that may have delayed generics
Switching or discontinuing inhaler versions (“product hopping”) to maintain market control
Plaintiffs claim these actions led to higher prices for QVAR and QVAR Redihaler by preventing lower-cost generic alternatives from entering the market sooner.
Teva denies all wrongdoing but agreed to a $35M settlement to avoid further litigation risk and expense.
