June 28, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com announces developments in a lawsuit filed against Xarelto and its manufacturers by an Ohio couple. The suit alleges that the anticoagulant created and distributed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer AG caused the woman to develop severe health issues, including an intestinal bleed and anemia.

The FDA passed approval for Xarelto in 2011. While the drug was initially hailed as a new-generation breakthrough in the field of anticoagulant medication, it has since attracted more than 3,000 lawsuits seeking damages. The uses for which it was originally approved included treatment of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and the prevention of postoperative clot formation in those recuperating from knee or hip replacement surgeries. Soon after, the approval scope was expanded to include the drug as a preventative against strokes in individuals with the cardiac disorder, atrial fibrillation.

In this case, the woman began taking the drug as a part of a treatment regimen for atrial fibrillation. In only two months, she began experiencing difficulties resulting from an uncontrollable bleeding event. The couple seeks more than $150,000 to settle medical expenses as a result of this bleeding event, the subsequent anemia, and a host of other related factors that prevent her from leading a full life.

Recently, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered the agglomeration of all federally-filed suits against Xarelto and its manufacturers under the heading of a multidistrict litigation (MDL 2592). It is slated to be tried in the Eastern District of Louisiana under Judge Eldon Fallon, and the suit filed by the Ohio couple will be included.

Many of the claimants have similar allegations and claim they were placed in unwarranted danger of catastrophic bleeding episodes as a result of using Xarelto. As the litigation moves towards trial, plaintiffs are optimistic that additional suits will join the effort.

The attorneys of Banville Law, the firm behind TheProductLawyers.com, are offering complimentary consultations to anyone who suffered injury or hospitalization after a bleed while on Xarelto. For more information about this release or the Xarelto litigation call 888-997-3792.

June 28, 2016 – –

Pro Pad Inc., a business in Mooresville, NC, has announced that they have created a new flag to advocate Second Amendment rights. Details about the flag are available at http://www.thepropad.com/second-amendment-motorcycle-flag/. Second Amendment rights is a highly debated topic in the US today. With Democratic senators recently staging a sit in protest to demand gun reform laws, the debate is now stronger than ever. That is why the company has introduced a motorcycle flag that shows support for the right of people to own guns.

Mike Enzwiler from Pro Pad Inc. says: “During a time when gun rights are a concern of the nation, we felt it was necessary to give people the opportunity to show the country where they stand. Our nation has been built on the right to bear arms, and it is time we showed our support for this idea. Creating this new flag, therefore, was a no-brainer.”

As with all Pro Pad Inc. products, the flag is 100% Made in the USA. This further supports the company’s unwavering commitment to all the things that made this country great. The flag makes this clear more than anything else. With an American bald eagle at its front, holding a gun in each talon, and the statement ‘Right to Keep and Bear Arms’ on a banner across it, the flag offers an all-American design.

The flag is available in two sizes, which are 6″ by 9″ and 10″ by 15″. Customers can also purchase a 9″ or 13″ pole if they do not already have one fitted to their bike. Finally, various pole toppers are also available, including a USA flag with eagle for those who truly want to show where they stand.

“All of our flags are made of a UV coated poplin that is machine washable,” adds Mike Enzwiler. “This is a heavy duty material that supports outdoor durability. Each flag is double sided and double stitched and the sleeve will accommodate up to 3/8″ diameter pole. The flag is 100% cut, printed, and sewn in the USA, in an effort to show our continued support to the people and the economy of our great nation.”

June 28, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a settlement conference that plaintiffs hope is rescheduled to prevent the need to go to trial for the many lawsuits filed against Cook Medical in regards to the IVC filter devices the company manufacturers. Plaintiffs are anxiously awaiting word of a new settlement conference that will allow them, their attorneys and the defendant to possibly negotiate a settlement to bring resolution to the approximately 250 lawsuits that are pending in a multidistrict litigation (MDL) being overseen by a court in the Southern District of Indiana. The settlement conference would be before a U.S. Magistrate Judge.

The settlement conference was to have taken place in March 2016. However, the defendant’s attorneys had asked for a postponement to allow for more time to review findings and prepare their client. No word has been given about when a settlement conference will occur. If one is not rescheduled, then trials will proceed sometime in early September 2016.

At the center of the lawsuits are allegations that the IVC filters have been defectively designed and manufactured and once surgically placed in the patient’s inferior vena cava vein, they can fracture thus sending the pieces to other parts of the body with some becoming lodged in veins and organs. In some instances, the pieces cannot be surgically removed as they have embedded in areas of the body considered to be “high risk.” The pieces then are left in the body and can potentially cause more damage.

The IVC filter is a small cage-like medical device usually used in patients who cannot take traditional blood thinning medications. It captures errant blood clots originating in the legs that travel through the inferior vena cava to the heart and lungs. If the clot reaches the heart and lungs it can cause a pulmonary embolism. The filter catches the clot allowing it to dissipate on its own. The IVC filter is a temporary solution, according to the FDA, and should be removed when the risk of blood clot formation has passed.

June 28, 2016 – – Marc Freund of LipsigLawyers.com recently commented on a new development in Albany, where a victim of an e-cigarette explosion in late May has recently filed a lawsuit. Freund wishes the victim the best of luck in his recently filed case and hopes that the man has been able to make a speedy, complete recovery from the injuries he sustained in the alleged May e-cig explosion.

A prior news report from WTVR.com claimed that the Albany, New York resident was using his e-cigarette when it allegedly exploded in his face, knocking out his teeth, puncturing a hole in his tongue and causing severe burns to his hands. The report also indicated that the victim was not able to speak eloquently and spoke through understandable yet muffled speech. An update on the case by WNYT.com, a local NBC affiliate, stated that the victim filed a lawsuit on June 22nd, following the alleged device malfunction that occurred on May 19th. The victim’s lawyer claims that they suspect the alleged explosion was a result of the user’s defunct lithium-ion battery.

FEMA has previous clarified their belief that the lithium-ion batteries are the likely cause of most e-cigarette explosions. Their belief stems from the instability of the lithium-ion core, and the strong potential for an energy overload, which victim’s see as an explosion often times accompanied by a resulting fire.

This is the among several e-cigarette explosion lawsuit cases that have been filed in New York within the last month and is the sixth e-cigarette explosion in New York since 2009. The first New York e-cigarette explosion lawsuit case filed in June came shortly after a teenage boy from Brooklyn sustained severe burns, and lost sight in his left eye on April 5th. The alleged explosion occurred while the 14-year-old boy was sampling an e-cig at a mall kiosk at Kings Plaza Mall. The victim’s father hired attorney Marc Freund to represent his son, and the lawsuit is on-going.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman are currently offering complimentary legal consultations to all e-cig explosion victims. Marc Freund and the law firm maintain that all victims should be granted extensive legal support during their time of need. Freund believes that all e-cigarette explosion victims deserve the opportunity to completely evaluate their legal options, and notes that some victims may be entitled to financial compensation.

To request additional information on electronic cigarette explosions, or to ask questions, please contact Attorney Marc Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman by calling 877-711-9545.

June 28, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com comments on another independent lawsuit filed against Xarelto and the drug’s manufacturers—Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson.) Set in motion by a husband and wife from Ohio, the suit alleges that Xarelto directly caused the woman to suffer significant health issues, including a potentially fatal bleeding episode and anemia.

The couple is seeking over $150,000 in reparations to defray the cost of both existing medical expenses and the future care that her injuries will necessitate. Originally, she was prescribed the new-generation anticoagulant because she suffers from a cardiac disorder known as atrial fibrillation. This can often place individuals at a heightened risk for stroke.

However, according to documentation accompanying the claim, she began experiencing difficulties within two months of beginning the Xarelto regimen. A rupture in her intestinal blood vessels was continuing to bleed, due to the anti-clotting action of the drug. The suit claims that this contributed directly to anemia and other factors that have substantially impaired her ability to live a full life.

The FDA approved Xarelto for public use in 2011 as a new way to prevent blood clots.

Originally, its stated uses included treatment for those suffering from pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis and patients recovering from hip or knee replacement surgeries. However, the approved uses soon expanded to include it as a preventative measure in the treatment of atrial fibrillation.

While it was initially heralded as a wonder drug, Xarelto has since accumulated more than 3,000 lawsuits against it, many with similar claims. The plaintiffs claim that they were placed at undue risk to suffer catastrophic bleeding events, some of which proved fatal, by taking the drug. In recent months, many of these suits were consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL 2592), which will be tried in the Eastern District of Louisiana under Judge Eldon Fallon. This case and all subsequently filed lawsuits in the U.S. will be incorporated into the MDL.

The attorneys of Banville Law, the firm behind TheProductLawyers.com, are offering complimentary consultations to anyone who suffered injury or hospitalization after a bleed while on Xarelto. For more information about this release or the Xarelto litigation call 888-997-3792.

June 28, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on new information regarding lithium-ion batteries and their possible link to exploding electronic cigarettes. Live Science recently published an article that outlines how such explosions might occur. According to this source, lithium-ion batteries can overheat. When this happens, there is a potential for a cascade or “domino effect” to occur. Mounting levels of heat compound within a battery module until the battery explodes. Moreover, this reaction can occur within milliseconds, leaving consumers with almost no time to react. According to the article, since the year 2002, lithium-ion batteries have been the subject of 43 product recalls.

However, the manufacturers of electronic cigarettes, or e-cigs, use the batteries because they are both compact and long-lasting as a power source. Since their introduction, e-cigs have increased in popularity as an alternative to smoking, now including more than two million American consumers. Several dozen officially documented reported incidents of e-cig explosions are currently on record, but some sources feel that the actual number may be larger due to underreporting.

With consequences that include fires, burns, blindness, and lasting psychological trauma, these incidents can dissuade consumers from using these products. One man from Sherman, Texas reported that the device exploded in his hand and was projected across the room. He suffered manual burns and now has a disinclination to use e-cigarette products in the future. While they are often purchased in an attempt to improve health or adhere to changing social mores, FEMA analysts note that there are many incidents that are likely “not reported” to local fire departments or the media.

Also at issue is the FDA’s lack of oversight in these cases. While reports of exploding electronic cigarettes have come from the states of Utah, Oklahoma, New York, Texas, California, Arizona, and much more the FDA cannot legally interfere with the production, quality testing, or distribution of these products. However, the recent expansion of their purview to include tobacco products has spurred concerned parties within the government regulatory agency to push for oversight of tobacco alternatives, such as e-cigs.

To ask questions or request additional information on e-cigarette explosions, please contact Attorney Marc Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman by calling 877-711-9545.

June 28, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently stated that after two men were injured in Florida while on a construction site, he wishes them a quick recovery. Moverman added that he hopes construction sites will take this incident as an indication that more needs to be done to ensure the safety of workers.

Two men were injured earlier this month in a construction accident at Florida State University’s Doak Campbell Stadium. The workers had been cutting a piece of metal material when it fell, striking the workers. One of the men suffered from a severe gash to the head while the other was left with an injury to his arm. Both were said to have non-life-threatening injuries, according to WCTV.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) stated that the top three most frequently cited standards for 2015 were fall protection, hazard communication, and scaffolding requirements. Injuries incurred during these accidents usually involve head injuries, spinal injuries, lacerations, and fractured or broken bones. Additionally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the leading causes of worker deaths on construction sites in 2014 were falls, followed by electrocution, being struck by an object, and caught-in/between machinery.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman have been representing victims of construction accidents for years. They have successfully obtained millions in settlements for those victims and strongly believe in fighting for the compensation victims need and deserve. In one case, Attorney Thomas Moverman won a victim $2.6 million for a worker who injured his knee and back in a fall from defective scaffolding. The firm is currently looking to assist those individuals who have been injured in a construction accident and qualifying individuals may be entitled to financial compensation.

For more information on construction injuries, or for a consultation, contact an attorney with Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman at (646)-846-4496.

[DK 2309] Houston, TX, United States of America – December 19, 2014 /MarketersMedia/ — Transmission Repair of Houston reports the average transmission repair runs $2,245, and basic repair jobs typically cost less, yet may still run $1,000 or more.

June 28, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on new information regarding potentially unstable lithium-ion batteries used in e-cigarettes. Data drawn from an article in Live Science indicates that reported explosions often occur in milliseconds, offering consumers little time to react. They note that when a battery module overheats, it can lead to a cascade or “domino effect” that produces compounding levels of heat until the battery itself explodes. Since 2002, the article notes, there have been 43 product recalls for the batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries are ideal for use in electronic cigarettes because of their compact size and long lifespan. As an alternative to smoking, e-cigs have grown in popularity and are used by more than two million Americans, according to FEMA. The organization notes that there have been several dozen reported cases of explosions associated with electronic cigarettes. Some sources speculate that the number of actual incidents may be much higher due to underreporting.

Fires, blindness, burns, and psychological or emotional trauma can result from these explosions. As more individuals seek a healthier or more socially sanctioned alternative to smoking, the implications of potentially unstable batteries could be severe. A resident of Sherman, Texas reported that his e-cigarette exploded in his hand and was projected across the room. The incident resulted in manual burns and a decided disinclination to use it or similar products again.

FEMA analysts report, “Many incidents are not reported” to local firefighting services or the media. Should this be the case, it would seriously hamper any efforts to develop a safe and satisfactory solution to the problem of the unstable batteries. Another roadblock to such an answer comes from the FDA. Currently, they do not oversee the quality standards or distribution of e-cigarettes, in spite of reports of explosions in Oklahoma, New York, California, Utah, Arizona, Texas and many more states across the country. However, using the recent expansion of oversight to all tobacco products, the government regulatory agency is seeking to extend their purview to tobacco alternatives. This would effectively allow them to impose safety measures regarding the potentially unstable batteries in e-cigarettes.

To request additional information on electronic cigarette explosions, or to ask questions, please contact Attorney Marc Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman by calling 877-711-9545.
