FDA Public Health Advisory: Safety of Vioxx

Excerpt from the FDA's Sept. 17, 2001 letter to Merck about Vioxx: Additionally, your claim in the press release that Vioxx has a "favorable cardiovascular safety profile," is simply incomprehensible, given the rate of MI [myocardial infarction, or heart attack] and serious cardiovascular events compared to naproxen.

Notice on Practice and Statute of Limitations
Lieff Cabraser attorneys provide legal advice and practice law for clients in federal district courts throughout the United States and in state courts where we are licensed to practice. In states in which our lawyers are not licensed to practice, we have affiliations with local attorneys who serve as co-counsel with our firm. Please read our Disclaimer.
Persons seeking to preserve any potential legal claims for allegedly dangerous and/or defective products should contact an attorney promptly because all states have mandatory time periods (called "statutes of limitation") within which lawsuits must be filed. Otherwise, a person's claims may be forever barred. In some states, the statute of limitations period for filing personal injury claims is only one year from the date of injury.
