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.
