Heart Problems Caused by Meridia Leaves Many Seeking to File Lawsuits: New York Injury Lawyer Explains

Last week the recall of popular weight loss medication Meridia was announced due to research linking the drug to serious heart problems.  The manufacturer or Meridia, Abbott Laboratories decided to pull the drug off of the market after the Food and Drug Administration conducted a survey which provided the information that shows that Meridia is linked to heart problems. 

Many believe now that Abbott Laboratories stopped selling Meridia and issued a recall warning for the product that lawsuits against the makers of Meridia may start. Many experts believe that Meridia should have been given a black box warning when it first came to the market in 1997 but instead, almost 14 years later, it is being taken off of the market for some very serious complications.

Meridia lawsuits will involve cases where proof is established that the heart problems are caused by Meridia so it is important to speak to both a doctor and a lawyer handling Meridia cases as soon as possible.
