Dangerous & Harmful Drugs and Devices Cause Injuries
It seems like every year there is at least one major pharmaceutical drug which is withdrawn from the market due to the injuries and death suffered by those who ingested these drugs. With the FDA oversight, one has to ask, "How did these dangerous drugs get to be sold to the public in the first place?" After years of fighting these pharmaceutical companies, the personal injury lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm have learned that many of the dangerous drug side effects are hidden from the FDA, which is the part of the government responsible for approving and overseeing prescription drugs. If these side effects had not been hidden, the drugs would have never gained FDA approval to begin with or would have been withdrawn much sooner.
We have helped over a thousand victims of bad drugs or devices recover compensation for their injuries. Mark Anderson has handled claims against the largest drug manufacturers in the world, including: Wyeth, Bristol Meyers-Squibb, Merck, Bayer and Baxter Health Care.

Our firm is reviewing cases where injuries were caused by the following drugs and devices:
- Actos: Diabetes drug inked to an increase chance of bladder cancer in long-time users.
- Zimmer NexGen CR and Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex Porous Femoral Knee Implants: Despite calls from surgeons to recall these defective prostheses, they are still on the market.
- DePuy Hips by Johnson & Johnson: Hip implants recalled by the manufacturer due to severe problems suffered by patients.
- Reglan/Metoclopramide: A drug prescribed for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders now known to cause a serious neurological disorder called Tarvide Dyskinesia.
- Multaq:Prescribed to patients with irregular heart rhythms, Multaq is linked to severe liver damage and liver failure.
- Yaz/Yasmin/Ocella: Birth control pills known under the names Yaz/Yasmin/Ocella are linked to heart attack, stroke and life threatening blood clots.
- Propecia: A hair-growth drug that has been known to cause sexual dysfunction in men permanently.
