Isn't It Time For Women To Stand Up And Fight Against False Advertising?

Author : Wendy Moyer


         


A short time ago a well known pharmaceutical company manufactured and promoted a drug that they knew could cause serious harm to women. As a result, more than fifty women died and countless others developed allergic reactions, blood clots, depression, heart damage, hypertension, kidney damage, liver damage, lumps in their breasts, and excessive vaginal bleeding.

Often the only medication these women were taken was this particular pill that was prescribed by their doctor, so they were quite puzzled when they experienced these symptoms along with breathing and vision problems, intestinal pain, chest pain, and lightheadedness.

The drug in question is one of the first of the fourth generation oral contraceptives. You might have seen it advertised as a way to reduces PMS or relieve extreme cases of acne - or even lose weight. By the way, all of these advertisements were not substantiated by actual tests.

Women are finally standing up and fighting back. They're hiring attorneys across the country to file personal injury lawsuits against the pharmaceutical company that caused them their grief. It still has to be seen whether or not the court agrees with them, but the law firms that agreed to represent them on a contingent basis sure do.

Otherwise the personal injury law firms would not have agreed to represent them. That's because if they don't win the case they won't receive any money for their work. And how many lawyers do you know of who would want to work for free?

If you have been taking oral contraceptives and have been experiencing any unusual side effects then it's time to first see your doctor and then possibly consult with an attorney about filing a lawsuit against the drug company. It's time for you to stand up and be heard.

If you file for litigation and your attorney wins your case, not only will you be pretty much assured that all your medical expenses will be paid, and that your lost wages will be reimbursed, you could also be awarded a substantial amount in damages because of what this drug did to you.

And it might even be possible that if enough women who were led astray by false advertising and inappropriate labeling file for litigation, then the company responsible may be forced by the Food and Drug Administration to recall the drug and take it off the market.

Maybe it's hoping for too much, but perhaps it might even prompt them to only manufacture drugs that can actually help people and to be more straightforward in future advertisements.
