Executive Summary
This is a routine procedural order in a consumer class action against Abbott Diabetes Care and Abbott Laboratories regarding FreeStyle CGM products. The parties jointly stipulated to extend the deadline to submit a proposed ESI protocol from September 14, 2026 to October 6, 2026. The order contains no substantive rulings on liability, damages, or injunctive relief — it is a scheduling extension, the fourth such request, with no impact on any other case deadlines. For a $178B market cap company, this is immaterial housekeeping.
Key Facts
- Court granted a joint stipulation to extend the deadline for submitting a proposed ESI protocol from September 14, 2026 to October 6, 2026.

Risk Factors
