Plaintiffs allege that they suffered anosmia after using Zicam Cold Remedy, and assert

claims for fraud, negligence, failure to warn, defective design, breaches of express and

implied warranty, and violation of the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Plaintiffs’

cases involve the same defendants and call for determination of substantially the same

questions of law as the other personal injury cases in the MDL. See LRCiv 42.1(a). 

Therefore, IT IS ORDERED GRANTING the parties’ stipulated motion to transfer

(doc. 920). IT IS ORDERED that CV10-1476-PHX-MHB, CV10-1483-PHX-SRB, 

CV10-1382-PHX-ROS, CV10-1484-PHX-DGC, CV10-1485-PHX-DGC, and

CV10-1486-PHX-GMS shall be transferred to In Re: Zicam Cold Remedy Marketing, Sales

Practices, and Products Liability Litigation, MDL 09-2096-PHX-FJM. 

DATED this 4th day of October, 2010.
