Today an FDA panel discussed to issue a Black Box Warning for all products that contain Acetaminophen.
Even though acetaminophen is a very commonly used drug, it can lead to serious liver injury or death from overdose.

Acetaminophen is the generic name of a drug used in many different over the counter drugs and medications.

Brands of products containing Acetaminophen:
Regular strength Tylenol
Extra strength Tylenol
Regular strength store brand/generic Acetaminophen
Extra strength store brand/generic Acetaminophen
Nyquil
Vicodin
Percocet
NSAIDS (nonsteroidal antinflammatory drugs)
aspirin
ibuprofen
naproxen

The problem with Acetaminophen:

Acetaminophen has been shown to and linked to many different types of liver problems.
Mainly the liver has a difficult time in flushing it from the system.

Taking more than the recommended amount can cause liver damage, ranging from abnormalities in liver function blood tests, to acute liver failure, and even death in some rare cases.

Even amounts of only 4 grams per day can lead to liver damage or other liver problems. The problem is exacerbated by those who use alcohol or have liver disease. These individuals have a harder time in flushing Acetaminophen from their bodies.

Injuries associated with acetaminophen:
liver damage
liver failure
liver transplant
serious liver injury
Overdose

If you or someone you know has experienced liver damage or has suffered an overdose from acetaminophen, please contact us today at this website:  acetaminophen lawsuit information

The Bard IVC (inferior vena cava) Filter is used when anticoagulation drugs have little effect in protecting patients who have a venous thromboembolic disease or in prophylactic use for patients with a high risk of pulmonary embolism.

These filters can help prevent blood clots from moving through the body – by acting a type of trap for a pre-determined size of blood clot.

The Bard IVC Filter is one of many types and brands on the market today, but it is the Bard type that is of current focus.

IVC filters are inserted into large blood veins sometimes surgically or through the use of a catheter.
Many of these IVC filters are permanently installed, while a few brands are called retrievable.

Types of Injuries from a Bard IVC Filter:
Migration (moving through the body),
Breaking parts
Tearing or punctures of internal arteries and or organs
Death
Pulmonary Embolus
Pain in the chest area

Both Bard IVC Filters are of the retrievable type, and on average were removed after being in the body for a couple weeks.  If they are in place longer some may become overgrown by cells from the IVC wall and there is an increased risk of IVC injury if the filter is dislodged.

There have been reported cases of injuries from the use of both Bard IVC Filter types.
Bard G2 IVC
Bard Recovery IVC filter. (no longer being sold)

Because of the possibility of the Bard Recovery IVC filter parts breaking off and moving through the body (at times requiring open heart surgery) there may be a potential class action lawsuit associated with these Bard Recovery IVC filter injuries.

The problems with Hydroxycut are growing in number, and to date at least 23 people who have used them have reported serious side effects. One person has tragically died after using them.

Specifically, the relatively less dangerous side effects include:

* Seizures from Hydroxycut
* Hydroxycut liver failure
* Cardiovascular disorders
* Kidney failure
* Rhabdomyolysis from Hydroxycut

Unfortunately, as serious as these side effects are, they are not the most dangerous ones associated with this product line to this point.

Those side effects include several different types of liver damage, including jaundice and raised levels of enzymes in the liver, which can lead to irreparable liver damage and ultimately the need for a liver transplant.

The FDA has issued a warning for both dieters and body builders today to immediately stop using Hydroxycut, a supplement linked to cases of serious liver damage and at least one death so far.

The FDA said the manufacturer of the popular dietary supplement has now agreed to recall 14 Hydroxycut products. Over 9 million packages were sold last year, the FDA said.

Dr. Linda Katz of the FDA’s food and nutrition division said the agency has received 23 reports of liver problems, including the death of a 19-year-old boy living in the Southwest.

Side effects and symptoms from Hydroxycut includes: jaundice, or yellowing of the skin, and even possible liver failure.

The FDA’s Dr. Katz said it has taken so long to get a handle on the Hydroxycut problem because the cases of liver damage were rare and the FDA has no authority to review supplements before they’re marketed. “Part of the problem is that the FDA looks at dietary supplements from a post-market perspective, and an isolated incident is often difficult to follow,” she said.

If you’ve been hurt or injured in any way from taking Hydroxycut, contact our lawyers and attorneys today as you may be entitled to compenstation for your Hydroxycut side effects injury.
