Saxenda Class Action Lawsuit

Saxenda

Our lawyers are reviewing potential lawsuits for people who were injured by Saxenda (generic: liraglutide), a weight-loss medication that has been linked to pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and thyroid cancer.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one developed pancreatic cancer after taking Saxenda, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2013 issued a Drug Safety Communication regarding a potential increased risk of pancreatitis and pre-cancerous cell changes in patients treated with incretin mimetic drugs like Saxenda. The warning followed studies which were based on pancreatic tissue specimens taken from patients after they died from unspecified causes.

Side Effects of Sandexa

  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Pancreatitis
  • Kidney failure
  • Life-threatening allergic reactions
  • And more

Can Pancreatitis Lead to Pancreatic Cancer?

Chronic pancreatitis, a long-term inflammation of the pancreas, has been linked to an increased risk for pancreatic cancer (especially in cigarette smokers). However, most people with pancreatitis never progress to pancreatic cancer. Chronic pancreatitis is sometimes due to an inherited gene mutation, and patients with this form of the disease have a high lifetime risk of pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic Cancer Symptoms

Pancreatic cancer often goes undetected until its advanced stages, at which point it’s difficult or impossible to treat. In most cases, symptoms only develop after pancreatic cancer has grown and begun to spread to other parts of the body.

When they do present, however, symptoms of pancreatic cancer may include:

  • Weight loss
  • Jaundice (yellow skin)
  • Dark urine
  • Light color stool
  • Itching
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal pain
  • Enlarged lymph nodes in neck

Which Other Drugs are Incretin Mimetics?

In addition to Saxenda, other incretin mimetics include:

Uber Reaches $20 Million Settlement in Class Action Lawsuit Alleging Unsolicited Text Messages

Uber

Uber Technologies has agreed to pay $20 million to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging that the ridesharing company broke the law by sending out unsolicited text messages.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you were an Uber passenger who was injured in a car accident, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

October 11, 2017 – Lead Plaintiff Maria Vergara initially filed suit in August 2015, alleging that she had received no fewer than 8 unsolicited text messages with different confirmation numbers to register for the rideshare service, even though she had never used Uber and had never tried to download the Uber app.

The lawsuit was filed as a class action, citing allegations that Uber violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending automated text messages without consent, causing “aggravation and invasion of privacy.”

The suit further alleges that Uber uses inaccurate phone numbers which cause it to routinely send unsolicited text messages to individuals who never provided consent.

That practice can cost those receiving the texts money, because many phone service providers charge for receiving “wireless spam,” the complaint states.

If you received one or more unsolicited text messages from Uber between Dec. 31, 2010, and Aug. 17, 2017, you may be eligible for compensation per the settlement agreement.

The settlement still requires final approval by an Illinois judge, who is scheduled to hear the case next January. The court also will decide whether to approve the request for attorneys’ fees of nearly $7 million plus costs and expenses, and awards for the 6 plaintiffs of $10,000 each.

Rexulti Class Action Lawsuit

Depression

Our class action lawyers are investigating potential lawsuits for people who were injured by Rexulti (generic: brexpiprazole), an antipsychotic drug potentially linked to uncontrollable compulsive behaviors (gambling, eating, shopping, sex) and severe extrapyramidal side effects.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one was injured by the side effects of Rexulti, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

Our defective drug attorneys are concerned that Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc., may have developed Rexulti in an effort to reclaim profits lost when its nearly identical precursor, Abilify, went off patent protection. Although the two medications are extremely similar in pharmacological profile, Rexulti labels — unlike the labeling of Abilify — do not warn of an increased risk for uncontrollable compulsive behaviors such as gambling, shopping, eating, and having sex.

Side Effects of Rexulti

Serious side effects of Rexulti may include:

  • Uncontrollable Compulsive Behaviors – Gambling, sex, shopping, eating.
  • Extrapyramidal Effects – Acute dyskinesias and dystonic reactions, tardive dyskinesia, Parkinsonism, akinesia, akathisia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
  • Suicidal Thoughts – Particularly in children, teenagers and young adults.

Black Box Warnings

Can I Participate in a Class Action?

At this time, the Pharmaceutical Litigation Group at Schmidt & Clark, LLP, has decided against the filing of a Rexulti Class Action, and are only filing individual claims for people alleging injuries from the drug. Rexulti has only been on the market since July 2015, and there have not yet been enough complaints filed to warrant class action status.

However, you can still pursue compensation through the filing of an individual Rexulti lawsuit if you’ve been injured. Contact our attorneys today to learn more about your legal rights.

Heater-Cooler Class Action Lawsuit Filed in Iowa

Surgeon at work

An Iowa woman has filed a class action lawsuit against Stӧckert 3T heater-cooler manufacturer LivaNova PLC, previously Sorin Group Deutschland GMBH, alleging that the device exposed to her potentially fatal bacteria during open-heart surgery.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one developed an infection or other complications following surgery with a heater-cooler system, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

August 11, 2017 – Plaintiff claims she underwent heart surgery with a 3T heater cooler device in June 2016, during which she was exposed to M. chimaera and/or M. abscessus, which are subspecies of nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM).

A report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in October 2016 found that Stöckert 3T heater-cooler devices made by LivaNova PLC were the likely source of an outbreak of rare bacterial infections. The report cited at least 28 NTM infection cases in the U.S., including 21 in Pennsylvania, 5 in Iowa and 2 in Michigan. Four deaths were reported in Pennsylvania, according to the CDC.

In 2015, FDA blocked imports into the U.S. of 3T heater-cooler systems after issuing a warning letter related to manufacturing violations by LivaNova. The agency didn’t require hospitals to stop using existing devices, though it and the CDC have issued new recommendations for reducing the risk of NTM infection.

Plaintiff in the new class action is seeking to represent over 4,100 other plaintiffs who are or were citizens of Iowa at the time of their exposure. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Iowa. The class members’ claims total more than $5 million.

Exactech Knee Class Action Lawsuit

Exactech Knee

The product liability attorneys at Schmidt & Clark, LLP, are filing lawsuits for knee replacement patients who were injured by the Exactech Optetrak implant, a device that has been linked to reports of premature failure and other severe complications resulting in the need for revision surgery.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one had problems after knee surgery, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

Update: Georgia Plaintiff Claims ‘Severe and Permanent Injuries’ from Exactech Knee

October 2, 2017 – A patient who underwent knee replacement surgery with the Exactech Optetrak implant has filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer, alleging that the “device caused him severe and permanent injuries,” as well as the need for rehabilitation and ongoing medical care.

What is the Optetrak Tibial Tray?

The Exactech Optetrak tibial tray is a device that was designed for use in total knee replacement (TKR) surgery, also known as arthroplasty. Knee replacement is typically recommended in patients with severe arthritis or knee injuries.

Exactech Knee Implant Fails Early, Patients Claim

Exactech’s line of knee replacement devices have been on the U.S. market since 1994, and for much of that time the implants have had a solid post-surgery track record. However, certain models produced in 2011 and 2012, which featured a different “finned” tibial tray, have been linked to reports of early failure, which many believe was caused by the implant’s failing to properly bond with surgical cement.

Knee Replacement Complications

  • Severe pain
  • Inflammation
  • Infection
  • Bone damage
  • Muscle damage
  • Loss of / lack of bonding of the knee implant to the bone
  • Tibial loosening
  • Disassociation of the insert
  • Change in position of the components
  • Patello-Femoral Tracking-Lateral Release
  • Knee replacement failure
  • The need for revision surgery

Optetrak Tibial Tray Recall

In July 2012, the FDA announced a nationwide recall for the Optetrak Cemented Trapezoid Tibial Tray, Size 1F/1T, 2F/1T, and the Optetrak Rotating Bearing Knee Tibial Tray, Finned, Cemented Tibial Tray, Size 2F/1T. Both trays have the potential to be mislabeled, according to the FDA.

I’ve Been Injured by an Exactech Knee Replacement. Can I File a Class Action Lawsuit?

Although we are a nationally recognized class action firm, our Products Liability Litigation Group is currently only filing individual lawsuits on behalf of people alleging injuries from Exactech Optetrak knee replacements. It has been our experience that in this type of complex medical device litigation, class action claims typically result in low-ball settlement agreements, inferior compensation for class members, and higher attorney fees. Contact our lawyers today to discuss an individual claim and the potential compensation you may be entitled to.

Do I have an Exactech Knee Lawsuit?

The Medical Device Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial lawyers that focus on the representation of plaintiffs in Exactech knee lawsuits. We are handling individual litigation nationwide and currently accepting new knee implant failure cases in all 50 states.

Actemra Class Action Lawsuit

Actemra

Our lawyers are filing lawsuits for people injured by Actemra, an RA drug linked to life-threatening side effects including heart failure, pancreatitis, stroke and lung disease.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one was injured by Actemra side effects, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

Update: FDA Approves Actemra to Treat Complication of CAR T Cell Tx

August 31, 2017 – The FDA has approved Actemra for the treatment of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell-induced severe or life-threatening cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients aged ≥2 years, Genentech has announced. This marks the first FDA-approved treatment for this indication.

What’s the Problem?

June 7, 2017 – The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) should immediately require warnings about heart failure and pancreatitis with Actemra (tocilizumab injection), according to an investigational report published Monday in STAT. The report also advised caution for heart attacks, strokes and interstitial lung disease.

Researchers analyzed statistics on more than 500,000 rheumatoid arthritis drugs and found that the above side effects were just as likely in Actemra users as with competing medications; however, the labeling of most other RA drugs warn about these risks and Actemra does not.

At least 1,128 deaths have been associated with Actemra since it hit the U.S. market in January 2010, according to the STAT report. To date, the Actemra labeling has not been updated to reflect these risks.

Serious Actemra Side Effects

  • Heart failure
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Pancreatitis
  • Interstitial lung disease
  • Other life-threatening lung complications
  • And more

Can I File a Class Action?

Although we are a nationally recognized class action firm, the Pharmaceutical Litigation Group at our law firm has decided against the filing of an Actemra Class Action Suit and is currently filing individual claims on behalf of individuals and/or their family members injured by Actemra side effects.

In this type of pharmaceutical litigation, class action suits can be a detriment to many class members, as they are often forced into a blanket “low ball settlement” and higher attorney fees. At Schmidt & Clark, LLP we understand that our clients are suffering emotionally and economically due to loss of wages and/or high medical bills and we plan to maximize each client’s recovery by filing individual Actemra lawsuits on their behalf.

Viberzi Class Action Lawsuit

Viberzi

Our lawyers are reviewing potential lawsuits for people who were injured by the side effects of Viberzi (generic: eluxadoline), an IBS medication that has been linked to an increased risk for pancreatitis in patients who have had their gallbladders removed.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one got pancreatitis from side effects of Viberzi, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

On March 15, 2017, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) warned that Viberzi could increase the risk of pancreatitis in patients who had their gallbladders removed. These injuries are severe and could result in hospitalization or death, according to the FDA.

Viberzi and Pancreatitis

Viberzi has been linked to at least 2 deaths and 120 reports of serious pancreatitis since it was approved in May 2015. Of the 120 reports, 76 cases required hospitalization and 2 of those patients died. In most cases pancreatitis occurred after the first 1 or 2 doses of Viberzi, but in others the complication occurred after prolonged use.

Pancreatitis Symptoms

The type of pancreatitis associated with Viberzi is acute pancreatitis, which comes on rapidly (sometimes in as little as a few days). Symptoms include:

  • Upper abdominal pain
  • Abdominal pain that radiates to your back
  • Abdominal pain that feels worse after eating
  • Fever
  • Rapid pulse
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Tenderness when touching the abdomen

Viberzi and Gallbladder Removal

Of the 120 cases reported to the FDA, 68 included details on the patient’s gallbladder status. Fifty-six patients with adverse events had prior gallbladder removal surgery. Both deaths occurred in patients who did not have a gallbladder.

One of the deaths was attributed to severe pancreatitis, during which the victim had extreme abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting within an hour of taking Viberzi. Both deaths occurred within three days of their first Viberzi dose, according to the FDA.

Is There a Class Action?

The problems with Viberzi have only recently come to light, and no class action lawsuit has been filed over injuries alleged from the drug. However, our lawyers are filing individual lawsuits for people who developed inflammation of the pancreas and pancreatitis after taking Viberzi.

Do I Have a Viberzi Lawsuit?

The Pharmaceutical Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial lawyers that focus on the representation of plaintiffs in Viberzi lawsuits. We are handling individual litigation nationwide and currently accepting new IBS pancreatitis cases in all 50 states.

Nivea Talcum Powder Class Action Lawsuit

Talcum powder

More than 2 dozen studies over the past 40 years have linked talcum powder products like Nivea Pure Talc to an increased risk for ovarian cancer when used by women for personal hygiene.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one developed ovarian cancer after using a talc product, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit against the manufacturer and our lawyers can help.

How Can Talcum Powder Cause Cancer?

Since the early 1970s, researchers have been studying the link between ovarian cancer and talcum powder. It is believed that talc powder, when applied by women around the genitals, can travel to the ovaries and become embedded in the ovarian tissue. While talc is a natural mineral, it is difficult for the body to remove the particles, which over time may cause inflammation and cancerous tumors.

Who is Most at Risk?

Studies conducted over the past 40+ years have found that women who use talcum powder on a weekly basis face a 33% increased risk of developing ovarian cancer, and women who use talc on a daily basis have a 41% increased risk of developing the disease.

Ovarian Cancer Symptoms

  • Abdominal bloating, pressure, and pain
  • Abnormal fullness after eating
  • Difficulty eating
  • Increased urination / urge to urinate

Talc Cancer Statistics

It is estimated that in the U.S., approximately 10% of ovarian cancer cases are the result of women using talcum powder for feminine hygiene. There are about 21,000 newly-diagnosed cases of ovarian cancer annually in the U.S., which lead to about 14,000 deaths. Therefore, approximately 2,100 cases of ovarian cancer and 1,400 deaths are caused by talcum powder each year.

Is the Talcum Powder Lawsuit a Class Action?

The talcum powder lawsuits our lawyers are pursuing will be handled individually, and not as a class action. The term “class action” refers to a type of lawsuit where a small group of individuals represent the interest of a very large group of individuals. The small group handles the litigation on behalf of the large group, and the results obtained are binding to all class members.

This is not the type of litigation we are pursuing for women who developed ovarian cancer after using talcum powder. Instead, we are representing each plaintiff individually for their specific injuries and circumstances.

Argon IVC Filter Class Action Lawsuit

Blood Clot Filter

The Option ELITE IVC filter has been linked to reports of filter fracture, migration, and other serious complications. In some cases, doctors have been unable to remove the filters because they become embedded in the wall of patients’ vena cava.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one suffered IVC filter complications, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What is the Option ELITE IVC Filter?

The Option ELITE filter is manufactured by Rex Medical and marketed by Argon Medical. The device is implanted into a patient’s body to protect against pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs).

In 2014, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) granted clearance to Argon to begin marketing the Option ELITE with a new “over-the-wire” delivery technique, which enables physicians to safely deliver the filter to a patient’s inferior vena cava by following the path of a guidewire.

How Do IVC Filters Work?

The inferior vena cava (IVC) is the largest vein in the human body. It moves oxygen-depleted (blue) blood from the lower legs to the heart and then the lungs. To prevent blood clots from traveling through the vena cava to the lungs, doctors may implant an IVC filter into the vein.

The device is inserted by a catheter into the patient’s inferior vena cava through a small incision in the neck or groin. The device’s metal wires capture and trap blood clots before they can reach the lungs.

Retrievable Vs. Permanent

The Argon Option ELITE IVC filter is retrievable, meaning it is designed to be removed once the risk of blood clots has passed. In May 2014, the FDA recommended retrieving temporary IVC filters within 29-54 days of implantation. However, in many cases the devices are left implanted for months or even years.

IVC Filter Complications

  • Perforation of the vena cava
  • Organ damage
  • Incorrect positioning of the filter
  • Filter migration or movement
  • Circulation problems
  • Bleeding and hematoma
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • Infection
  • Breathing problems
  • Cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm)
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Kidney failure
  • Filter fracture
  • Inability to retrieve broken filter
  • Death

Has a Class Action Been Filed?

At least 3 class action lawsuits have been filed over injuries alleged from Bard IVC filters. However, no such action has been entered to date in the Argon Option ELITE IVC Filter litigation. Our lawyers are currently only filing individual claims for injured parties. If you feel you’ve been injured, contact us today to learn more about your legal rights.

Wright Conserve Class Action Lawsuit

wright-conserve-hip

Our lawyers are reviewing potential lawsuits for people who were injured by the Wright Conserve hip system, a hip replacement device that has been linked to reports of early failure and other complications that may require surgery to remove the implant.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one suffered an injury after hip replacement surgery, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

The Wright Conserve hip is a metal-on-metal hip implant that has been found to release tiny metal particles into the hip joint and surrounding tissues, as the cobalt-chromium metal femoral head rotates within the cobalt-chromium metal acetabular cup. Over time, this can result in metallosis, tissue necrosis, pseudotumors and other severe health complications.

Why was the Conserve Hip Approved?

Wright Conserve metal-on-metal hip devices entered the market through the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s controversial 510(k) approval process, which clears devices that are “substantially equivalent” to products that are already on the market. Wright claimed its Conserve line of hip prosthetics were similar to existing all metal hip implants.

Hip Implant Complications

Lawsuits have been filed against Wright Medical on behalf of patients who experienced the following complications after hip replacement surgery with Conserve implants:

  • Hip pain
  • Inflammation, swelling
  • Problems standing or walking
  • Dislocation of the hip joint
  • Implant loosening
  • Metal poisoning (metallosis)
  • Systemic reactions (organ damage)
  • Bone loss in the hip
  • Soft tissue growths (pseudotumors)
  • Tissue necrosis (tissue death)
  • Early failure
  • Revision surgery
  • And more

Has a Class Action Been Filed?

No class action lawsuit has been filed to date over injuries alleged from Wright Conserve hip implants. However, in 2014 a multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2329 was established in the Northern District of Georgia before Judge William S. Duffey, Jr. These are individual lawsuits in which plaintiffs allege that Conserve hip replacements are defective.
