Nearly 2,000 Vioxx lawsuits that were consolidated in a federal court in New Orleans are being moved to Houston, temporarily, because of the devastation caused from Hurricane Katrina, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.

The lawsuits filed against Merck & Company allege death and heart problems from taking the company’s withdrawn arthritis and pain relief drug Vioxx.
