Valsartan Attorneys
Representing Those Harmed by Valsartan throughout the United States
Valsartan is an anti-hypertensive drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It is often prescribed to patients who have experienced a heart attack to help them lower their risk of death. High blood pressure is a common condition in America and valsartan is generally accepted as a reliable form of treatment. However, recent recalls have challenged the safety of certain drugs containing valsartan.
Honorable Joel Schneider is the judge overseeing the national Valsartan litigation. He also is a representative of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey Camden Vicinage. On May 6, 2019, Judge Schneider entered Case Management Order No. 6, which approved the plaintiff’s and defendant’s Leadership Structure. In the Order, Alyson Oliver of Oliver Bell Group, was named as part of the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee; the group of attorneys charged with leading the litigation on behalf of all Valsartan litigants nationwide.
In addition to client representation, this Order allows the Oliver Bell Group to be on the leading edge of the entire litigation, benefiting all Valsartan litigants, including Oliver Bell clients. If you or a loved one was left injured after taking a drug containing valsartan, you may be entitled to compensation. Call the Oliver Bell Group today for a free consultation and seek justice for your suffering.
The Dangerous Side Effects of Valsartan
Recently, several products containing valsartan were recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to the presence of an impurity – N-nitroso dimethylamine, or NDMA – in certain products. The FDA classifies NDMA as a probable carcinogen. Multiple companies have voluntarily recalled their medications, including Major Pharmaceuticals, Solco Healthcare, and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd.
Exposure to valsartan could cause:
- Kidney Cancer
- Stomach Cancer
- Liver Cancer
- Colon Cancer
Seek Justice for Your Suffering
Today, millions of Americans rely on medication to treat high blood pressure and manage their health after a heart attack. These individuals put their trust in the drug manufacturers who create their much-needed prescriptions. When a medical company fails to ensure the safety of its products, the company must be held accountable.
Anyone who suffered due to a defective drug may join together and take legal action against the manufacturer in the form of a mass tort. Of course, each victim’s case is considered individually and each individual may be entitled to their own trial.
