After tackling defective hip implants over the past 15 years, another implant manufacturer is under the gun. Affected patients are filing lawsuits against Synovo Total Hip Replacement System (THS). The lawsuits claim that the Synovo THS uses modified components that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved.

The lawsuits also claim that the THS has not been sufficiently tested and that the safety and effectiveness of the modified parts have not been proven.

What is the Synovo lawsuit about?

As with all the previous lawsuits against hip manufacturers over the past 15 years, this is nothing new. These hip implant companies take shortcuts in their rush to get to the marketplace, do insufficient or incomplete safety testing, find out problems or defects with their product and fail to notify the FDA or the public.

The Synovo hip implant lawsuits are primarily related to issues with the Synovo Total Hip System, which was altered from its original design approved by the FDA. These modifications, made in 2019, have raised concerns about the safety and effectiveness of the implants. Continue reading

Suboxone Teeth Rot. Suboxone is a prescription sublingual film medication used to treat opioid addiction and opioid dependence. Suboxone oral film can be effective in helping patients handle withdrawal symptoms and damp down cravings for opioids, but there are potentially serious side effects noted with its use.

Suboxone Teeth Rot

Suboxone Teeth Rot? Contact Dr. Shezad Malik Law Firm at 214-390-3189.

Dependency. Suboxone contains buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, which means it has similar effects as an opioid drug but at a lower level. Buprenorphine changes the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Buprenorphine also decreases the pleasurable effects of opioids, making misuse of them less appealing. Suboxone can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, but it can also lead to physical dependence if not taken as prescribed.

Abuse potential. Although Suboxone has a lower potential for abuse compared to full opioid agonists, it can still be abused, particularly when taken in higher doses or in combination with other substances.

Dental Side Effects. Suboxone has been touted as a safe medication to treat opioid addiction but the acidic components in Suboxone strips have been shown to cause severe enamel erosion and subsequent dental problems, including Suboxone teeth rot. Continue reading

Roundup Weedkiller. In this article, I am going to address Roundup, and its links to cancer specifically non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and provide an update on the current trials and appeals.

Roundup Weedkiller

Roundup Weedkiller linked to Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and other cancers. Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and used Roundup? Call Dr. Shezad Malik Law Firm at 214-390-3189.

The use of the popular herbicide Roundup and glyphosate the main ingredient in Roundup and other weedkillers, is linked to an increased risk of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and other cancers.

Roundup Weedkiller Glyphosate

The concerns surrounding glyphosate, the active ingredient in many herbicides are multifaceted and involve environmental, health, and regulatory issues.

Glyphosate Health Concerns:

Cancer Risk: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organization (WHO), classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic in humans” (Group 2A) in 2015 based on limited evidence of cancer in humans (from real-world exposures that actually occurred) and sufficient evidence of cancer in experimental animals.

This classification has fueled ongoing debates and legal battles, despite other regulatory bodies, including the EPA, concluding that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans based on their assessments.

Environmental Impact:

  • Biodiversity Loss: Glyphosate’s effectiveness as a broad-spectrum herbicide can lead to decreased plant diversity which can have cascading effects on ecosystems, including impacts on pollinators and other wildlife.
  • Weed Resistance: The widespread use of glyphosate has led to the evolution of glyphosate-resistant weed species, which can become difficult and costly to control, leading to increased herbicide use.

It’s important to note that the context of glyphosate’s use (e.g., adherence to label directions, personal protective equipment usage) and exposure levels are critical factors in assessing its risks.

Camp Lejeune Cancer and Serious Illness. In this article, I am going to address the history of Camp Lejeune water contamination, the rise of Camp Lejeune cancers and serious illness, the inertia by the Federal Government’s Departments of Justice, (DOJ) and the Navy, and finally address the status of the litigation.

Camp Lejeune Cancer

What is the History of Camp Lejeune Water Contamination?

The water contamination at Camp Lejeune, a United States Marine Corps base in North Carolina, is a significant environmental and public health issue that spans several decades. The history of this contamination involves the discovery of hazardous chemicals in the base’s water supply, impacting military personnel, their families, and civilian workers.

Here are the key points in the timeline of Camp Lejeune’s water contamination:

Early 1950s to 1987: The contamination period is officially recognized as having occurred between these years. During this time, people living or working at Camp Lejeune were exposed to contaminated drinking water.

Contaminants Identified: The primary contaminants found in the water were volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene, and vinyl chloride. These substances are associated with a range of health issues, including cancers, birth defects, and other serious chronic diseases. Continue reading
