On February 13, 2003, our firm launched a $100 million dollar class action lawsuit in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on behalf of patients of Toronto doctor Sheldon Victor Pollack. The representative plaintiff in this action is Anna Barbiero of the City of Toronto.
Dr. Pollack, a dermatologist by training, used liquid silicone to smooth his patients' fine lines and wrinkles, despite the fact that this product was never approved for use in humans or animals by Health Canada.
On December 11, 2003, this action was certified as a class proceeding by Justice Cullity of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
In reasons for decision released on March 14, 2024 a judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed this action for delay. Click here to view or download a copy of the court-approved notice of dismissal.
