Product liability lawyer team for Johnson & Johnson has been working around the clock to undo the damages done by some of their drugs.
In 2010, the multi-million dollar drug company began recalling various types of Tylenol and over over-the-counter drugs that are found in the average American household. After consumer complaints, the company initiated a voluntary recalled of more than 136 million bottles of liquid pediatric Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl and Zyrtec because they may have contained too much of the active ingredient used to dull and lessen common aches and pains.
Some speculated that the drug in question contained “metal specks or other inactive ingredients” as well. According to the Food and Drug Administration, both of these mistakes are unacceptable and intolerable.
Any product liability lawyer knows what parameters a case must meet in order to file a product liability suit. If this were an isolated incident of only a few bottles of the contaminated drug, then it would be much more difficult to prove. However, this incident was not an isolated one. The company had undergone similar investigation in 2008 when their drugs were thought to have contained a heightened and unhealthy amount of outside contaminants.
Recently, product liability lawyer teams has been called in to defend those affected by the latest set of recalls from Johnson & Johnson. Also, in the past few months, tens of thousands of much-needed hip implants and several million contact lenses have been recalled because of their unacceptable standards.
The company CEO has recently addressed the public with assurances that their Children’s Tylenol does not fall into this category and has not been tainted by the contaminants that have tainted other drugs.
But, consumers still have questions. How do we know until it is too late? Can we, as consumers really believe the promises of a company that has let so many of us down before? These are all valid questions that express accurate and understandable concerns.
Consumers should not have to worry about the over-the-counter drugs that they purchase every month or year. These drugs should be safe and free of contaminants and unsafe ingredient levels. For these reasons alone, it is important to speak to a product liability lawyer if you feel that you have fallen victim to the negligence of Johnson & Johnson or any other drug manufacturing company.
Legal professionals have access to resources and information that other people do not. They are there to help when the odds are stacked against you.
