Vioxx Cases

The Law Offices of Gregory A. Yates, Esq. has focused its legal practice on another serious product liability concern: VIOXX.  On September 30, 2004, the Food and Drug Administration  issued a public health advisory on VIOXX, and its manufacturer MERCK & CO. voluntarily withdrew the product due to safety concerns over VIOXX and it’s serious side effects including serious cardiovascular complications such as heart attack and strokes, and gastrointestinal complications such as stomach ulcers and liver damage. 

If you or someone you know and care about has taken VIOXX, contact Gregory A. Yates, Esq .  Mr. Yates, well known for Multi-Million dollar verdicts and settlements stands ready to vindicate your rights and get you compensated for your injuries and damages from VIOXX.

VIOXX patients face a higher risk of such serious complications as heart attacks, angina or chest pain, and peripheral vascular events such as strokes, as well as stomach ulcers, liver damage, severe intestinal damage, blood clots, angina, kidney damage leading to kidney failure, serious drug interactions with high blood pressure medication, Steven Johnson Syndrome, and non-bacterial meningitis. 

Was MERCK & CO. aware of these serious and sometimes fatal consequences, and did they fail to inform the public and the medical profession in a timely fashion?  Recently disclosed information in the press and in court filings suggests that MERCK & CO. may have ignored FDA  concerns as of February, 2001.  Despite these concerns, MERCK & CO. claimed that VIOXX had a clean bill of health for Cardiovascular safety in May, 2001 in a press release. 

If you or a loved-one is or has been taking VIOXX, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, damages, and losses.  You need a champion in your corner to take on the large pharmaceutical giant MERCK & CO. and Gregory A. Yates, Esq. is just that legal champion.  Call (800) 404-4658 today.
