A Phoenix drug recall lawyer at Knapp & Roberts has obtained compensation for hundreds of clients injured by defective drugs taken off the market due to safety concerns. Many times these drugs do not undergo proper testing before being placed on the market. Our firm holds manufacturers responsible when dangerous prescription medications are allowed to reach innocent consumers. Unfortunately, some drug manufacturers may rush a product to market or ignore negative test results. The consequences to the patients can be devastating — including strokes, heart attacks, organ failure, and even death.
Below are a few commonly used drugs that can have negative side effects:
- Bextra, Celebrex: These drugs, prescribed for severe pain, have been linked to cardiovascular problems.
- Fen-Phen: Doctors prescribed this combination of drugs to aid in dieting. Some patients have suffered from heart valve disease and other heart problems.
- Propulsid: Prescribed for heartburn and acid reflux, this drug can cause heart abnormalities — especially when taken in combination with other drugs.
- Rezulin: This diabetes drug has been recalled because of severe liver toxicity.
If you or a family member has had dangerous side effects from these or other prescription drugs, talk to an experienced mass tort lawyer. At the Knapp & Roberts law firm, you will talk to a Phoenix personal injury lawyer who has the knowledge to advise you about your case.
