There have been numerous reports of overdose with this strong narcotic pain killer. Some of the signs of overdosing include: trouble breathing, dizziness or weakness, lightheadedness, fatigue, seizures, confusion and loss of consciousness.
• ReglanTardive Dyskinesia Litigation – Prescribed for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), this drug has never been approved by the FDA for use on a long term basis (more than 12 weeks). Current studies indicate that many patients have experienced tardive dyskinesia which includes symptoms of repetitive, involuntary movements of their arms and legs, lip smacking and other mouth and lip movements, rapid blinking, or diminished movement of their fingers.
• Yaz/Yasmin Litigation – An oral contraceptive that has become a top-selling brand manufactured by Bayer. This drug has been linked to reports of deep vein thrombosis, hypertension, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, heart attack, stroke and even death.
• Suzuki GSX-R1000 Motorcycle Litigation – Suzuki issued a voluntary recall for all of its model year 2005 and 2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000 motorycles, due to the potential for serious injury or death. Suzuki stated that an extraordinary safety defect in these models had been causing breakage and cracking in the front wheel/for assembly and behind and below the steering neck of the motorcycle.
• Rhino All Terrain Vehicle Litigation – This is a utility all terrain vehicle manufactured by Yamaha. Because of its high center of gravity, narrow wheelbase and tires too small for a vehicle of its size, it is prone to rollovers. It has caused extensive injuries and even fatalities due to its unstable design and tendency to rollover while turning.
If you or a loved one have been injured by any of the above listed products, please contact the firm of Schuler, Halvorson and Weisser, P.A. to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced and dedicated attorneys.
