Discovery for 66 suits alleging that gadolinium-based contrast led to nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) has been consolidated in a federal court in Ohio. The plaintiffs allege that the gadolinium-based contrast agent used during magnetic resonance imaging led to NSE NSF has occurred only in patients

with preexisting renal compromise. The Food and Drug Administration has issued several warnings about gadolinium and NSF; in May 2007, the agency requested new black box warnings about the risk of NSF for the five products on the market. The discovery process for the product liability suits is now consolidated as multidistrict litigation 1909 in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio.
