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. |

| 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. |
