Waco Drug Recall Lawyer
There is no question that there have been numerous remarkable medical advances made in the past two centuries. Perhaps the most significant developments have been those made in the refinement of pharmaceutical drugs. Pharmaceutical companies have conducted extensive research and devised ways to cure or regulate the symptoms of a mind-boggling array of illnesses. Unfortunately, in the eagerness to reap a profit from their work, they sometimes push dangerous drugs into the marketplace.
When the US Food and Drug Administration fails to catch these hazardous medications, there are often tragic consequences. These may prompt a formal recall of the drugs from store shelves, but it is typically too late for many victims. If you or your loved one has suffered injury or illness due to such a medication, contact the Waco drug recall lawyers of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842.
Notable Drug Recalls
In 1997, the United States Food and Drug Administration relaxed its rules regarding the advertisement of pharmaceutical products, and ever since it has been something of a bonanza for drug companies. By running aggressive marketing campaigns, they have been able to drive patients to request medications by name without a full understanding of the appropriateness and potential consequences of doing so. And this shows no sign of stopping, as it is now estimated that drug companies spend more money marketing their products than on research and development.
Notable drugs that have been recalled or caused significant public concern due to health risks include:
- Vioxx (Rofecoxib)
- Paxil (Paroxetine)
- Celebrex (Celecoxib)
- Fen-phen (Fenfluramine)
- Yasmin
- Ocella
