April 29, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a plaintiff’s allegation from an Invokana lawsuit which alleges there is a link between the drug and kidney damage. Several diabetes patients who have used the drug stated that they have experienced kidney failure. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received a number of complaints from patients stating that they experienced extreme kidney damage while using the drug, intended to treat type II diabetes.

Invokana is one of many SGLT2 inhibitors that is designed to help the kidneys reject excess glucose. By doing this, the glucose is not reabsorbed by the kidneys and the patient has a lower level of dependence on insulin and other regulatory medications. In order to get rid of the sugar, however, the kidneys must push it out of the body through urination. This process causes excess strain on the kidneys and strain of any kind could potentially cause kidney damage, especially for those with previous kidney problems.

50 individuals have reported renal impairment and kidney failure to the FDA since the drug was released in 2013 .Because of the claims made by plaintiffs and the numerous adverse event reports received by the FDA, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Invokana, has been required to add additional warning labels to the product, noting the potential for kidney problems as well as other conditions which can include urinary tract infections and ketoacidosis.

“We are currently investigating several cases where individuals who took an SGLT2, such as Invokana, Farxiga or Jardiance, subsequently were diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis, kidney complications, heart attack and stroke. If we prove that these complications were caused by the drug, we look forward to aggressively pursuing the rights of our clients and recovering just compensation for their pain and suffering, and for what their families may have had to endure,” stated attorney Laurence Banville, a defective drug and product lawyer and sponsor of TheProductLawyers.com.

The corporate office of Express has recently released new survey results highlighting the increasing difficulty that employers face when trying to recruit and fill jobs.

A survey of 340 businesses was conducted earlier this year. The respondents were asked, “Currently, how easy is it for you to recruit and fill positions?”

Three percent of the responses said “very easy,” while 29 percent said “somewhat easy.” Nearly half, 49 percent, said “somewhat difficult,” while 16 percent said “very difficult,” and another three percent said, “I don’t know.”

More than half of all respondents said there was some sort of difficulty in recruiting and filling positions, “very difficult” or “somewhat difficult” (65 percent), in this survey than in any of the four hiring trends surveys conducted by Express in 2015. This increase in reported difficulty coincides with the decrease in the unemployment rate.

“Cache Valley employers are definitely feeling the effects of the current low unemployment situation,” Doug Anthony, franchise owner of the Logan Express office, says about the challenges faced dealing with employment in Logan, UT. “Skilled workers are harder to find resulting in higher recruiting costs and pay increases across much of the valley.”

April 29, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a news segment released by NBC which was a follow-up to a previous story. The follow-up was conducted in order to further investigate the reasons that IVC filter device manufacturer C.R. Bard has been able to continue to market their filters, even after reports regarding concerning patient suffered complications quickly followed the filter’s FDA approval. NBC noted that the information they had collected from confidential records included both a memo and a study conducted on the medical devices, and had first aired on December 31, 2015.

The report further investigated a topic that is currently alarming for many, as lawsuits referencing IVC filters have now been filed in Canada and the United States. Plaintiffs who have filed suit against various manufacturers of IVC filters similarly claim that the devices are defectively designed and are therefore dangerous, making them able to break loose from their original insertion points and travel within the body becoming lodged in other locations where they could cause additional and serious health complications.

NBC’s report detailed information showing that manufacturer C.R. Bard had concerns over possible product failures within the GC series filters, and that these worries were expressed as early as four months after the filters were given FDA approval. Despite the noted concerns, the filters were left on the market for public sale. Perhaps most concerning, NBC interviewed Dr. William Kuo, an IVC filter removal specialist, who commented, “The number of complications, the frequency of severe failures makes it obvious that it was never safe to be implanted.” The Doctor also used the opportunity to directly address the actions of IVC filter manufacturers, stating that they are not able to be trusted to act within the best interests of patients.

This alarming information and the details uncovered by NBC’s investigation are quite concerning for patients currently implanted with various brands of IVC filters. The filters are used among patients who are deemed at increased risk for blood clots, and are intended to capture and hold blood clots until they dissipate, preventing them from traveling toward the heart and lungs. The filters are meant to be used temporarily, and then removed from the inferior vena cava veins of patients after blood clot risks have subsided.

The attorneys of Banville Law are also concerned by this new information, and are currently working to help other patients who feel that they have been or are being harmed by IVC filters. They want to help ensure that all affected parties will be provided an opportunity to fully evaluate their legal rights in the matter, as these individuals could be entitled to significant compensation. To assist those interested in fully evaluating their legal options, the attorneys of Banville Law are now offering free legal consultations for qualified parties.

To request additional IVC lawsuit information, or to ask questions, please contact the attorneys of Banville Law by calling 888-997-3792.

April 29, 2016 – – LegalHerald.com reports on the fourth Risperdal lawsuit to go to trial which has resulted in a ruling in favor of the plaintiff. The Philadelphia jury’s verdict awarded a young man $1.75 million in damages to be paid by Risperdal drug manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary).

The plaintiff began taking Risperdal in 2003 when he was nine years old. During this time the drug had only been approved for adult use for the treatment of schizophrenia. The suit claims that Janssen illegally marketed the drug for use in children for treatment of various conditions. The plaintiff continued to take the drug for five years, during which time Risperdal gained FDA approval for the treatment of children and adolescents. Unfortunately, during that time, the plaintiff also developed a condition known as gynecomastia or male breast growth. His complaint claimed that Janssen failed to inform consumers and physicians of the potential risk of developing gynecomastia when using the drug. While this particular case posed additional difficulties for the plaintiff and his legal team due to the fact that he continued to take the drug after its approval for use in children, the jury still ruled against the drug company.

This is not the first time that the drug manufacturer has faced legal trouble. In 2013, Johnson & Johnson paid a $2.2 billion settlement for charges brought against them by the U.S. Department of Justice for the illegally marketing drugs, including Risperdal, “off-label.” If a drug is prescribed “off-label” it means that it is being prescribed in a way that has not been approved by the FDA.

The attorneys at Banville Law understand the pain and suffering gynecomastia can cause men who are affected by it. The firm is devoted to ensuring that anyone who has used Risperdal and suffered from adverse health effects that they attribute to the drug will have the opportunity to explore their legal options. They are currently offering complimentary legal consultations to affected parties who may be eligible for substantial compensation.

For more information on Risperdal lawsuits, or to ask questions, please contact the lawyers of Banville Law by calling (888) 997-3792.
