What changed this month
Between the Judicial Panel's August 3, 2026 and September 1, 2026 reports, 5 new MDLs appeared, 1 left the report, and the total of actions pending across all 166 dockets moved by +563 to 206,182. Everything on this page is computed from the two reports; nothing is editorial.
