Obesity Drug Fen-Phen Cases
American Home Products, the makers of the diet drugs Fen-Phen, Redux, and Pondimin, and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania agreed to a settlement on August 28, 2000 for anyone who took these drugs and suffered injuries. American Home Products has set aside $12.25 billion for the settlement to handle all Fen-Phen injury claims. You may even be entitled to part of this settlement if you took Fen-Phen and you’re healthy now but develop medical problems in the future.
Important Legal Update
The diet drug Fen-Phen was prescribed to combat obesity. The FDA removed Fen-Phen from the market after the Mayo Clinic announced that 24 Fen-Phen users developed heart valve problems. Some of these problems included mitral valve regurgitation, aortic valve abnormalities, and primary pulmonary hypertension. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggested that anyone who took Fen-Phen, Redux, or Pondimin, or who is displaying symptoms of heart or lung disease, should see a doctor to determine if an echocardiogram should be done.
