VALSARTAN
Understanding Valsartan Contamination and Your Legal Options
What Happened?
In 2018, the FDA recalled Valsartan medications containing an ingredient from Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals, contaminated with the carcinogen NDMA. This contamination has been linked to numerous cancer diagnoses among users.
Who Are We After?
We are pursuing claims against pharmaceutical companies that used the contaminated ingredient from Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals, including Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Solco Healthcare, and Major Pharmaceuticals. The specific defendants may differ depending on the facts of each individual case.
Why Do We Fight?
This recall occurred only after a large number of people had already been prescribed and were taking the contaminated prescription drug, highlighting the urgent need for accountability. By pursuing these lawsuits, we aim to prevent such contaminations in the future and protect families from the devastating consequences of dangerous drugs.
There is no cost to file a lawsuit with our firm, as we operate on a contingency fee basis. This means you will not receive a bill for our services unless we are successful in securing compensation for you. Should the lawsuit not succeed, clients will not owe the firm any fees or costs. Mass tort lawsuits, including the Valsartan litigation, offer a strategic avenue for individuals affected by the same catastrophic event to band together, thereby enhancing the strength of their collective claim and efficiently reducing litigation costs.
The contamination of Valsartan occurred because the drug was manufactured with a specific pharmaceutical ingredient from Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals in China, which contained dangerously high levels of the carcinogenic chemical NDMA. Not all Valsartan medications were affected by this contamination, but the carcinogenic ingredient was sold to a number of US pharmaceutical companies. Many patients take Valsartan long-term, so it is possible many individuals took the contaminated medicine for an extended period of time. Some people who have been taking the contaminated medications have developed cancers, including bladder, stomach, liver, gastric, colorectal, kidney, and pancreatic cancer. An FDA recall was issued in 2018 after the impurity was discovered.
If you have taken Valsartan and have been diagnosed with bladder, stomach, liver, gastric, colorectal, kidney, or pancreatic cancer, or if a loved one passed away from one of these cancers after taking this drug, you may have a lawsuit.
