Personal Injury Lawyer: Matrixx Faces Zicam Lawsuit

Personal Injury Press Article Excerpt

Arizona Republic, "Matrixx faces Zicam lawsuit"

In what could be the opening salvo in a new wave of lawsuits against the Scottsdale-based maker of Zicam, lawyers on Monday filed a lawsuit on behalf of 117 people who claim they have suffered loss of smell after using the popular nasal spray. Among those suing Scottsdale-based Matrixx Initiatives Inc. include one dozen Phoenix-area residents as well as the chef of an upscale Las Vegas-area restaurant who no longer can smell or taste food.

Matrixx officials said Monday they had not seen the lawsuit filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, but a spokesman said the company believes that its nasal products are safe and do not cause loss of smell. Company officials are bracing for additional lawsuits after the Food and Drug Administration last week issued a warning letter linking Zicam nasal gel and swabs to loss of smell. The company responded by voluntarily recalling its Zicam Cold Remedy nasal gels and swabs from retailers nationwide. The company has more than a dozen oral Zicam products that were not targeted by the FDA and remain in stores nationwide.
