Suboxone Tooth Decay Litigation Update: Key Developments and What They Mean for Plaintiffs

The Suboxone tooth decay litigation has reached a pivotal moment, with the July 2025 update from Lawsuit Legal News (LLN) shedding light on critical developments that could shape the future of the case. The multidistrict litigation (MDL) against Indivior, the manufacturer of Suboxone, is seeing significant procedural milestones that are influencing expectations for settlement timelines and trial preparations.

Emerging scientific evidence is playing a crucial role in the litigation, with claims that sublingual Suboxone strips are linked to severe dental issues, including tooth loss, decay, and oral infections, gaining momentum. Legal experts note that this evidence strongly supports the plaintiffs' position, although the final outcome will depend on whether the cases are resolved through trial or mediation.

Key developments in July 2025 include delays in accessing pharmacy records, with Walgreens facing increased legal scrutiny for allegedly failing to produce records within the court-mandated timeframe. Meanwhile, Safeway and Porch Light Health have resolved their record production issues. The plaintiff pool has also been adjusted, with 48 of the initial 500 plaintiffs removed due to voluntary dismissal or documentation issues, and replaced through a random selection process.

Despite growing interest from affected parties, a settlement is not expected imminently. Legal analysts suggest that Indivior may be delaying negotiations until the three-year statute of limitations passes, potentially reducing their exposure to new claims. Meaningful settlement discussions are now projected for late 2025 or early 2026.
