Dangerous Drug Attorneys - Vioxx
In Phoenix, Arizona and Taking Cases Nationwide
Vioxx was a best-selling arthritis medication manufactured by Merck & Co. that was pulled off the market in 2004. It was banned in the U.S. due to data indicating it increased the risk of heart attacks and strokes and caused several other side effects, including blood clots, non-bacterial meningitis, severe intestinal damage, kidney damage and ulcerations.
Since being released onto the market in June of 1999, the dangerous drug Vioxx had been prescribed over 52 million times, putting millions of innocent consumers of at risk. Ongoing investigations and lawsuits indicate that Merck & Co. was aware of the fatal side effects since 1997 but chose not to disclose many of those findings and still aggressively market Vioxx as a highly safe and effective product.
Merck & Co.’s negligence is now being rightfully punished in a court of law. The company has already lost multi-million dollar liability lawsuits and it is projected to pay over $1 billion in damages related to all Vioxx injuries and wrongful deaths to date.
