Statute of Limitations
Tennessee: 1 year from discovery (Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-28-103) — act immediately
1 year from BIA-ALCL diagnosis or discovery of BIOCELL injury connection — critical urgency
Where to File in Tennessee
Tennessee has a 1-year statute of limitations for product liability actions under Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-28-103 — one of the shortest in the country. Tennessee BIOCELL claimants must consult an attorney immediately upon BIA-ALCL diagnosis or discovery of a BIOCELL-related injury. Nashville is one of the fastest-growing cosmetic surgery markets in the South, and a significant volume of Natrelle 410 implants were placed in Nashville area practices from 2008–2019. Memphis and Knoxville also have active cosmetic surgery markets. Tennessee plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Do not delay — Tennessee's 1-year window leaves no room for procrastination.
