Product Liability Lawyer Blog http://www.productliabilitylawyerblog.com/ Published by Sam Levine en Copyright 2010 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 17:07:11 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=3.33 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Talcum Powder Linked To Ovarian Cancer Johnson & Johnson, the maker of many consumer products, including Talcum Powder, stands accused of failing to alert consumers of the link between Talcum Powder & ovarian cancer. It is widely known that women apply the talcum powder near their vaginal area and that such proximity has lead to and caused women to develop the deadly ovarian cancer.

Johnson & Johnson, according to its critics, knew about the link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer, but instead, chose not to warn consumers of the dangers. The talcum powder is now considered by many to be a defective consumer product.

Women and others now face the challenging & daunting task of battling ovarian cancer and all of the emotional & physical complications associated with ovarian cancer. How well health insurance companies will respond to payiing new claims related to ovarian cancer treatment is yet to be determined.

If you or a loved one has developed ovarian cancer because of the use of talcum powder or has been injured or killed by the use of any other defective consumer product in Atlanta, Georgia, the Southeast or any other part of the United States, I would invite you to please visit either one of my two websites, www.samlevine.com or www.atlantainjurylawyer.net or contact my office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law, 24/7, for a free consultation.

Unfortunately, since the Ortho Evra patch hit the market and has been used by some four million women, there have been reports of almost two dozen injuries sustained by women that estrogen related.

Towards the end of 2005, the FDA announced a revision in the Ortho Evra labeling which now makes users more aware of the increased dose of estrogen the patch provides and the risks associated with that increased hormone level.

The contraceptive patch, made only by Johnson & Johnson in the form of the Ortho Evra patch is a synthetic hormone contraceptive. By releasing a specific amount of estrogen and other hormones through the patch and into the body, ovulation is inhibited and pregnancy is therefore prevented. There have long been risks associated with taking any kind of oral contraceptive, including elevated risks of blood clots and heart attack, particularly in smokers.

The Ortho Evra patch carries the same risks for potential side effects including some weight gain, urinary tract infections, skin problems, headaches and changes to menstrual flow. Other side effects can include breast tenderness, including enlargement, depression and nausea. The main issue with the patch is that the method of delivering the estrogen into the body may mean that higher levels of the hormone are being released and therefore potentially increasing risks. In fact, the drug maker has stipulated to the fact that the patch releases up to 60% more estrogen than an oral contraceptive. There have been studies that show an increased risk of thromboembolic episodes, or blood clots related to the patch and studies that counter those findings.

In April of 2006 it was widely reported that Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries have been settling a number of wrongful death and product liability lawsuits related to the Ortho Evra birth control patch. Specifically, Ortho-Mcneil in Raritan, N.J. have been approaching all claimants and attorneys and have already paid out millions of dollars to women and the families of women who have been injured or killed by the Ortho Evra patch.

If you or a loved one has been injured or died as a result of the use of the Ortho Evra patch in Atlanta, Georgia, anywhere in or outside the United States, I would invite you to please visit either one of my two websites, www.samlevine.com or www.atlantainjurylawyer.net or contact my law office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.

MRI's are routinely administered to help doctors diagnose various medical conditions. The MRI contrast and in many cases Gadolinium, is typically injected into someone prior to the MRI and is designed to light up the particular area of the body during the test to help the Radiologist and treating doctors see the problematic area more clearly to provide better diagnoses and treatment to the patient.

However, Gadolinium is causing an unfortunate onset of skin conditions and conditions usually seen in kidney patients that adversely affect the joints and eyes. At the urging of the FDA, the maker of Gadolinium has begun to include a warning label on the packaging of the allegedly defective product.

If you or a loved one has been injured or adversely affected by Gadolinium or any other defective product in Atlanta, anywhere in Georgia or the United States, I would invite you to please visit my websites www.samlevine.com, www.atlantinjurylawyer.net or contact my law office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.

Consumers are asked to stop using the Apeks scuba diving regulators.

The crux of the defective Apex scuba diving regulator is that the regulators could be missing the diaphragm covers, which could cause the diaphragms themselves, to become loose or misplaced during a dive, thereby increasing the danger of drowning.

If you or a loved one has been injured, adversely affected or killed as a result of defective scuba diving equipment or a diving regulator and you would like information or assistance from an Atlanta, Georgia attorney who is available to help people anywhere in the United States, I would invite you to please visit my website, www.samlevine.com or contact my law office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.
