Fen Phen Deaths
(800) 391-6415
Phen fen deaths and serious adverse effects have resulted in thousands of phen fen lawsuits. A 1996 New England Journal of Medicine study found that PPH (primary pulmonary hypertension) is suffered in 1 in 500,000 people normally, but occurred in 1 in 20,000 phen fen users, greatly increasing the odds of suffering phen fen deaths. In addition to the potentially fatal conditions of PPH associated to phen fen, it was later realized that phen fen deaths and adverse effects were occurring because of heart valve disease.
Heart valve phen fen side effects are very serious and can require replacing the valve, however with PPH there is no cure and phen fen deaths were soon reported. Due to the inability to adequately diagnose phen fen adverse effects such as PPH, phen fen deaths occurred. The lawsuits that quickly followed the phen fen recall were numerous and the company had high financial losses.
The largest product liability settlement of all time, the phen fen company settled over 11,000 phen fen lawsuits for $4.83 billion. Phen fen deaths and phen fen serious conditions and side effects sought compensation for the damages and losses experienced due to the negligence of the drug company. Still, the company has never admitted any wrongdoing in relation to the phen fen deaths and adverse effects suffered.
