distributing, and selling Prempro. The Prempro class action
lawsuit wants to inform the public that Prempro consumers are at
an increased risk of harmful Prempro side effects and/or death.

monies paid for the product to provide compensation to all
victims for personal injuries and death caused from Prempro side
effects.
