Note: At the bottom of this 11-year-old post is new December 2022 information on the new Chantix cancer class action lawsuit. We are not handling these claims

Add Heart Attack and Stroke (and Cancer in 2022) to the Long List of Problems Reported by Chantix Users

With powerful evidence from a new Chantix study, heart attacks and strokes have been added to the potential risks associated with Chantix.

Chantix Lawsuits

Chantix has been a controversial drug from day one and consumer advocates have long been pushing for its removal from the very beginning. It has been associated with many side effects, including increased risk for aggressive and suicidal behavior, diabetes, and a host of other ailments.   The warning label was eventually changed on the risk of suicide and suicidal ideations (and later changed back with an acknowledgment of psychiatric events that have occurred with people on Chantix).

Some consumer complaints have been proven, some have been disproven, and the jury is still out on others. But now the data is showing something else new that Pfizer will also probably ignore: Chantix increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.

• December 2022 Update: New lawsuit alleges that Chantix is effectively worthless because it was contaminated with nitrosamines, a likely carcinogenic.

Fisher-Price sleeps are the subject of a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warning after at least 13 deaths in the company’s infant rockers

This warning directed to parents and caregivers clearly states that an infant should not be left unsupervised, unrestrained, or sleeping in any incline infant product.  This is pretty much an impossible task for a parent which makes you wonder why the CPSC allows the product to remain on the market.

Fisher-Price and Infant Suffocation

Our lawyers are handling Jif Peanut Butter recall lawsuits in all 50 states.  Our law firm is focused exclusively on injury claims from salmonella poisoning.

JM Smucker Co. was recently forced to initiate a massive recall of its Jif Peanut Butter products after the FDA traced an outbreak of salmonella to one of the company’s plants in Kentucky.

If you were exposed to salmonella from Jif peanut butter products (or other products that contained Jif peanut butter) and suffered adverse health effects, you may be able to file a Jif recall lawsuit and get financial compensation for your injuries.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a public notice to health care providers and patients that certain hemodialysis machines manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care may be exposing users to toxic chemicals. Exposure to these toxins could cause patients to suffer neurologic conditions and hormone disorders. Our firm is not evaluating potential lawsuits against Fresenius by individuals who were harmed by this issue.

Fresenius Dialysis Machines May Expose Users to Toxic Chemicals

In a public notice letter dated May 6, 2022, the FDA announced that a handful of hemodialysis devices manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care could potentially be exposing users to toxic chemicals, including non-dioxin-like PCBAs (polychlorinated biphenyl acids) and NDL PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).

Reglan is a pharmaceutical drug used to combat heartburn and slow gastric emptying in diabetes patients. The question is whether tardive dyskinesia (also known as TD), a neurological disorder with symptoms including repeated involuntary movements, is connected to Reglan use.

Below is a question and answer for about the Reglan lawsuits. This will read a little odd in places because much of it was written thirteen years ago. But it has 2022 additions as well, including a discussion of the possibility of a new Reglan lawsuit over the undisclosed stroke risk.

What Is Reglan?

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has been conducting a study on polyethylene glycol 3350 (PEG 3350), the active ingredient in MiraLAX, and its effect on a child’s brain. The study came about after reports that children have been experiencing behavioral problems after taking MiraLAX.

• If you are allergic to MiraLAX, you should talk to your doctor before you get the COVID vaccine (interesting article) and maybe bring an EpiPen when you get vaccinated

What is MiraLAX and how is it different?
