Metabolife Plan To Be Approved
At times, approval of the plan, which took more than 2½ years to forge and negotiate, seemed a distant possibility. But about 20 attorneys representing the numerous and often feuding parties in the case acted almost as one to coax a reluctant judge to approve the plan. The proposed plan calls for Metabolife, its owners, insurers and the retailers who sold the company's now-banned ephedra product, Metabolife 356, to create a $56 million pool from which to pay claims. In return, those parties are seeking broad exemption from any ephedra-related claims in the future, including claims of 'willful misconduct.'
