Meridia lawsuits filed named maker Abbott Laboratories for the deaths, cardiovascular events, and other serious side effects that have occurred. Controversial from the start, Meridia lawyers have been defending the families and individuals that have been seeking compensation for the devastating events that have occurred due to Meridia use. Meridia lawyers have questioned why Meridia was FDA approved after its own advisory committee voted 5-4 against it. The Meridia lawyers have also pointed out the March 19, 2002 Public Citizen consumer group petition that was filed to the FDA requesting Meridia be immediately banned.

Some Meridia lawyers have argued diet drug manufacturers have taken advantage of the vast consumer market of dieting Americans. In just one year on the market, nearly two million prescriptions were written for Meridia. The safety of Meridia has always been questioned, and Meridia lawyers are now defending the affected individuals, which include 29 deaths in the U.S. alone. The FDA told Abbott to make advertising and promotional material changes because the agency felt Meridia claims were made suggesting the diet pill was more effective than evidence supported, a growing problem among powerful drug companies according to many Meridia lawyers.
