Is Merck Guilty of Criminal Negligence With Fosamax?
Public outcry by physicians and professional associations was just the start of Merck’s Fosamax troubles. In 2006, the FDA reported that actual deaths had occurred from osteonecrosis related to Fosamax use. And in spring 2006, a class action lawsuit was filed in Fort Meyers, Florida. The Fosamax class action suit (and the inevitable lawsuits that will follow) alleges that Merck used deceptive labeling practices and was criminally negligent in its marketing of an unsafe drug with adverse side effects. If you are taking Fosamax or Fosamax D or did in the past, consult your doctor about whether to continue, and look into legal representation. An experienced products liability lawyer or class action attorney can help evaluate your case and tell you whether you qualify for monetary damages for your Fosamax use.
