PPA Product Recalls
URGENT PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE WARNING!
HAVE YOU OR A LOVED ONE SUFFERED
A STROKE OR HEART ATTACK?
Over 400 well-known over-the-counter and prescription drugs for Cold, Flu, Cough, Allergy and Sinus trouble, as well as Diet Aids and Energy/Metabolism Boosters have recently been pulled from the shelves. These products contained a product named phenylpropanolamine or PPA, which has recently been linked to stroke and heart attacks. PPA is used in cold and allergy medications to relieve nasal congestion and in diet products to control appetite.
Literally thousands of innocent consumers have suffered strokes and heart attacks, often resulting in death or disablement, from taking these popular medications. People who are taking products containing PPA are at an increased risk of hemorrhagic strokes or bleeding of the brain. It has recently been linked to causing up to 500 strokes each year and the FDA has significant concern because of the seriousness of a stroke and the inability to predict who is at risk.
If you or someone you love has suffered a heart attack or stroke in the past and may have been taking a medication containing PPA, (click here for a list of some popular products containing PPA) please contact our office immediately for a free consultation.
