Are there pending lawsuits against the makers of Fen-Phen?
Following the withdrawal of fenfluramine from the market, plaintiffs around the nation began to flood courts with complaints alleging that they had suffered injuries as a result of taking these drugs, or required medical monitoring to see if they developed any of the injuries which were allegedly caused by taking the drugs. The majority of the Fen-Phen litigation has been directed at the manufacturers/distributors of Fen-Phen, accusing them, among other things, of failing to warn users of health risks about which they knew or should have known. Increasingly, doctors and weight loss centers are also being drawn into the Fen-Phen suits, based on allegations of medical malpractice.
