| Fentanyl Alert - February 15, 2008 |
| On February 12th, 2008, all Fentanyl 25-microgram-per-hour patches that expire on or before December 2009 sold in the U.S. were recalled by Johnson & Johnson. The recall was issued due to the potential for a leak which may arise on the base of the patch releasing a potentially fatal gel. Those who come in contact with the leaking patch may have difficulty breathing or could become victims of a fatal overdose. If you or a loved one has been in contact with a defective recalled Fentanyl Pain Patch you may be entitled to compensation. For a free case evaluation, click here. |
| Heparin Alert - February 11, 2008 |
| The FDA has recently issued a nationwide recall of heparin IV flush syringes distributed by Sierra Pre-filled because they were found to be contaminated with a possibly life threatening bacterium called Serratia marcescens. Serratia marcescens has been known to cause conjunctivitis, keratitis, endophthalmitis, tear duct infections, urinary tract infections, upper respiratory tract infections, problems in the gastrointestinal system of children, as well as many other serious complications. These complications caused by the bacterium can be dangerous for most healthy adults, for the patients who rely on the syringes they are likely to be deadly. Click here for more informaiton. |
| Vytorin - January 22, 2008 |
| Research within the past week has raised questions about Vytorin, a popular cholesterol-lowering drug. Even though Vytorin has been on the market for nearly four years, it was reported only last week that it does not prevent heart attacks and strokes. Older drugs in the statin class are far more effective, doctors say. Click here for more informaiton. |
