Recall Of Tylenol Cold Liquid Products

These days, product recalls happen virtually every month and unless you are regularly

checking the Food and Drug Administration web site for updates on recent recalls, you are not always aware of the important information you need to know about recalls of drugs you may be taking or which are in your medicine cabinet for occassional use when warranted as prescribed. In fact, some drug recalls are severe enough that class action lawsuits are organized by lawyers on behalf of consumers in an attempt to take the ussue to court, get verdict and win hugh sums of awards in monetary damages to cover the physical, emotional and other pain incurred by the drug involved in the recall.

Reglan Lawsuits

One recent example of a product recall that has resulted in a class action lawsuit is the pharmaceutical drug, Reglan. Reglan is the brand name for the generic Metoclopramide, a prescription drug used to treat mild to severe gastrointestinal disorders, including:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD);

Acid reflux disease;

Heart burn.

Reglan has also been prescribed by doctors in order to help pregnant women who are experiencing morning sickness, patients who are receiving radiation and chemotherapy as a cancer treatment; even infants and children have had reglan prescribed for them by physicians, as well as post operative patients in efforts to alleviate post operative reactions.

Recent Reglan lawsuits have claimed that pharmaceutical companies did not effectively communicate the long term side effects of the drug to doctors who were prescribing the medication. As a result, patients were prescribed the drug continuously month after month after month. Research has shown that one in four patients that took the prescription drug, Reglan, for a year or more may develop the symptoms of tardive dyskinesia and adverse side effects including rapid blinking and facial tics.

The website for The Federal Drug Administration gives all the facts on defective drugs that have been subject to recall. We recommend that you contact a lawyer if you were involved with a drug that has been recalled or subjected to market withdrawal or has had safety alerts issued. Stay informed; there are numerous drug recall class action lawsuits that in which you may be eligible to participate in order to win monetary damages.
