In what is quickly becoming a products liability disaster, the used and abused victims of Darvon (Darvocet, Propoxyphene) are flooding to the doors of product defect attorneys all across the country in hopes of financial and emotional support. Ever since the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) requested these manufacturers to remove their products from the market, those who were unaware of Darvon and Darvocet’s side effects are now coming forward with claims for compensation.
Darvon and Darvocet Side Effects
Studies have found that what were previously thought to be harmless doses, the harmful chemicals contained in these defective products have the ability to alter the electrical activity of the heart. This has been linked to substantially increased risk for abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death. The drug was approved fifty three years ago, and the FDA has just now found the drug unsafe, and that even taking the proper dosage can cause sudden death.
Many Americans are experiencing the heart-breaking affects of these drugs and are outraged as to why the FDA took so long to put an end to the damage. In 1978, the consumer group Public Citizen petitioned regulators to remove the drug from the market, it seems as though someone has finally received the memo.
