RECALLED DRUG CLAIMS WE HANDLE

The Law Office of Scott P. Callahan has the knowledge and experience to handle a variety of recalled drug claims, such as:

  The diabetes drug Actos® may increase the risk of developing bladder cancer by up to 40 percent when taken for more than one year.
• Antidepressant Birth Defects

• Kidney Dialysis Heart Attacks (GranuFlo^®/NaturaLyte^®)
  Fresenius Medical Care’s GranuFlo^® and NaturaLyte^® kidney dialysis products may increase the risk of heart attack and sudden cardiac death in patients undergoing dialysis treatment.
• Lipitor®
  Female patients taking Lipitor® to control their cholesterol can face increased blood glucose levels, leading to an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

  Risperdal^® is prescribed to treat several mental health and mood disorders, but the drug has been linked to gynecomastia—or the development of large male breasts—in young male patients.
