Having lost three of the six cases tried so far after the withdrawal of its pain killer, Vioxx, Merck appears intent to fight all the 11,500 lawsuits it faces.

Merck’s strategy has been to assert that the company acted responsibly by pulling Vioxx in 2004. Whether they will participate in settlement talks after September 2006, two years after Vioxx’s removal, and when the limitation for filing lawsuits expires, remains to be seen.
