Feb-22-12 Washington, DC It's only been on the market since 2010, but Pradaxa has already come under the microscope of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) less than two years after the US health regulator gave the nod to dabigatran, a blood thinner. Pradaxa side effects are the concern here. And while Pradaxa is thought to carry less risk for serious bleed... - Nike Faces Nationwide Wages and Overtime Class Action
San Francisco, CA: A former employee of the San Francisco NikeTown Store has filed a wages and overtime class action complaint against Nike alleging that the sporting goods manufacturer failed to compensate him for overtime, meals and rest breaks as well as any additions shifts he worked. The employment lawsuit was filed by Webster Proctor, on... - Paxil Lawsuit | Paxil Lawyer | Paxil & Pregnancy - LawyersAndSettlements.com
On September 27, 2005, the FDA issued an alert to healthcare professionals and consumers as GlaxoSmithKline changed their warning label on Paxil (paroxetine) to include the risk of birth defects. These Paxil side effects include Paxil PPHN (Persistant Pulmonary Hypertension in the Newborn). The results of a recent study conducted by the two indicated an... - New York Involved in Home Warranty Lawsuit
Feb-21-12 New York, NY Consumers upset with home warranty companies are not the only ones involved in home warranty lawsuits. Although consumers have filed lawsuits against home warranty companies alleging bad faith insurance, at least one state has also been involved in—and settled—such a lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by New York Attorney Genera... - New Report Finds Toxic 'New Car Smell' Chemicals Linked to Health Risks
Feb-21-12 Washington, DC According to the fourth annual consumer guide to toxic substances in car interiors, produced by the Ecology Center, consumers remain at risk for exposure to bromine and other toxic chemicals that produce that "new car smell" despite the fact that overall, the use of these types of chemicals is being reduced by manufacturers. Among the wo... - Concerns about Multaq Side Effects
Feb-21-12 Spokane, WA Patients concerned about the risk of Multaq side effects can probably be forgiven, since their concern comes on the heals of an FDA Multaq warning. The warning, issued in December 2011, warned about the risk of Multaq heart problems—a concern because Multaq is approved to treat atrial flutter. But the FDA's January Multaq warning was... - Unum Plays God
Feb-21-12 Dayton, OH "You missed the deadline to return the paperwork we sent" is like saying "Your check is in the mail." It's likely another bad faith practice by Unum , a tactic to stop paying long term disability benefits to a policy holder. That one sentence gave Unum the power to play God and irrevocably ruin Deborah's life. In 1994, Deborah fell down a... - In February, the Message on Heart Disease Is Not Complete
Feb-2-12 Washington, DC The annual observance of American Heart Month is a time for superlatives and overtures about heart health. Diet, exercise, excessive weight and smoking are the missives coming to the fore that can contribute to a healthy heart, or a heart attack. But very little space, if any, is given for articulating the role drugs play in the onset of... - Larry Bates, First American Monetary Consultants Face Fraud Class Action
Jackson, TN: A federal consumer fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against Larry Bates, his company First American Monetary Consultants and several associates, including radio stations, alleging they defraud people, specifically Christians and the elderly, by persuading them to purchase silver and gold coins, and then withhold delivery of the c... - Listeria Monocytogenes Alert for Cheese and Milk Products

Feb-20-12 Ventura, CA Suffering a back and neck injury —or any combination of the two—can foster more than simple inconvenience. The fallout can impact everything from job performance to interactions with your children or your spouse. Even your daily movements can be impacted in kind. Little wonder, when such an injury is encountered through no fau... - Duragesic Death Lawsuit Launched in Utah
Feb-19-12 Park City, UT Duragesic Fentanyl was designed for the patient who is besieged with chronic pain. For such a patient, for whom there is little relief found elsewhere, Fentanyl patches are a godsend. But they can also kill, and have, according to a recent Duragesic lawsuit. The Salt Lake Tribune (1/27/12) reports that Janine Ward died May 4, 2010, af... - En febrero, el mensaje sobre la enfermedad del corazón no es completa
Feb-18-12 Washington, DC La celebración anual del American Heart Month es un tiempo de superlativos y oberturas sobre la salud del corazón. Dieta, ejercicio, exceso de peso y el tabaquismo son las misivas que llegan a un primer plano que pueden contribuir a la salud del corazón, o un ataque al corazón. En febrero el mensaje sobre la en... - Cáncer de vejiga causado por Actos

Feb-18-12 Providence, RI The issue of emergency room charges may appear to be a symptom of all that is wrong with the current status quo in the American health care system. However, the observation does little to defray the frustration over emergency room costs, when determining the actual cost of a service is next to impossible. Various reports have targeted... - Drilling Mud Spills at Repsol Exploratory Site

Feb-13-12 Perryville, MD When Sophia saw a television announcement about the secondhand risks of asbestosis exposure, she was understandably concerned.

Feb-17-12 Toledo, OH For expectant mothers hoping to decide whether Celexa side effects are worth the benefits, recent studies probably do not make the decision easier.
