As a Fort Worth Product Liability attorney I read with interest this new FDA Meridia warning and recall.

The F.D.A. has announced a recall of the diet drug Meridia due to its link to increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Abbott Laboratories has agreed to voluntarily withdraw its obesity drug Meridia (sibutramine) from the U.S. market because of clinical trial data indicating an increased risk of heart attack and stroke, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

A recent study showed that people who take Meridia experience a 16 percent increase in the risk of serious heart problems, including non-fatal heart attacks, non-fatal strokes. Read Article: The Washington Post

As a Fort Worth DePuy ASR class action attorney and law firm, we have been following closely the events surrounding the DePuy artificial hip replacement and the lawsuits that have followed.

The negligent actions by DePuy Orthopaedics have led to multiple DePuy ASR Class Action Lawsuits involving patients from the world. The main negligence allegations are that the company knew about the high failure rate of its hip devices for years before taking action to fix the device or remove it.

On August 19, 2010 the FDA sent a warning letter to the manufacturers of the DePuy ASR Hip Replacement, DePuy Orthopaedics, regarding other orthopedic devices.

As a Dallas Benzene Leukemia Attorney I have followed the news surrounding the oil and gas extraction from the Barnett Shale.

The gas companies are releasing untold amounts of Benzene into the atmosphere and polluting the ground water.

Folks, wake up and smell the roses. We have only one Texas and one World. If you crap this up, we have no where to go. Raise your hands those of you who want to live in a sewer.

Benzene is a volatile hydrocarbon, a product from the Petroleum Industry.

Trouble is, Benzene it is a known carcinogen and very toxic. Many blood cancers occur as a result of exposure to this chemical.

The personal injury sage continues. As a Fort Worth Personal Injury attorney I am writing this blog to hopefully provide insight to my readers, about the law works with its byzantine rules and regulations.

The Law and its practical applications are murky at best and we as lawyers have developed our own rituals and our own special language. Because if we spoke in plain English, then it would not be special anymore.

In my last missive I detailed the week before an actual trial that we were getting ready to do on our slip and fall case. The case got continued. Now we are using this opportunity to continue in our siege of the defendants castle. We continue to press our charge and are unrelenting in our skirmishes.

I am proud of our work this week. We just settled another car accident injury claim. My client was minding his own business, one night in Dallas. Somebody plowed into him and rear ended him. The folks who hit him were drunk and tried to run. They were caught by an off duty apartment security guard.

Come to find out they were high as a kite and ready to fly.

Luckily for my client he had minor soft tissue injuries, but he had pre-existing neck problems including cervical neck fusion. Obviously we were concerned that he may have had neck injuries. But after medical evaluation he was cleared of major injuries.

In March, the FDA warned that Zocor users had an increased risk of rhabdomyolysis when taking the drug at high doses of 80 mg. While all statins carry some risk of the muscle injury, the FDA’s report was the first time a dose-specific connection had been made to a particular drug. Symptoms of rhabdomyolysis from Zocor could include muscle cramps, tenderness, stiffness, pain or spasms. The illness is usually reported in patients over 65 years of age or those who have renal impairment or uncontrolled hypothyroidism.

Zocor (simvastatin) is a synthetic statin developed by Merck & Co., which is now available as a generic. Before patent protections expired in 2005, it was Merck’s best-selling drug and the second best selling cholesterol lowering drug in the world, bringing in $4.3 billion in 2005.

Bayer HealthCare, the leading maker of birth control pills, is coming out with a brand new pill.

The new launch coincides with growing problems for Bayer’s last new contraceptive, Yaz.
