Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc

Given the situation below, what would you do?
You have taken a drug that was supposed to relieve your pain. It contains a mix of a narcotic pain reliever and acetaminophen. You did your research on those components, so you thought you knew the risks going in. However, after taking the drug, you begin to suffer from arrhythmia and heart attacks.
What Would You Do?
File a class action lawsuit. At least, that’s what Linda Gallagher of New Orleans did. According to her, Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc., knowingly and willingly put the lives of millions of people at risk with Darvocet. All for a profit.
It turns out that she has a very solid case on her hands. In November, the FDA finished a study that found that even recommended doses of Darvocet could cause dangerous heart electrical changes that may lead to arrhythmia and Darvocet-induced heart attack.
What’s more is that Europe had been warning about these Darvocet related side effects for years.
If this class action lawsuit were to become successful, those involved could receive not only compensatory damages, but also punitive damages. A substantial payout indeed. The courts would do this in order to show pharmaceutical companies that they do not take kindly to the type of negligent behavior that Xanodyne has taken part in.
What Should You Do?
So, you are a user of Darvocet and the drug has affected you. The question is no longer “what would you do,” but “what should you do?” The best course of action would be to hop on the lawsuit against the makers of Darvocet by speaking to a Darvocet lawyer. It might be your chance at a huge Darvocet settlement, and some peace of mind.
