Pfizer may face an increased vulnerability to Bextra litigation, in light of their voluntary suspension of Bextra sales in the United States and Europe. On April 7, 2005 Pfizer agreed to the FDA's request to stop all sales of Bextra in the United States. This Bextra recall was prompted by mounting evidence that the risks of deadly Bextra side effects far outweigh this drug's intended benefits. Heart attack, stroke, blood clot development, heart failure, renal failure, life threatening skin conditions, and gastrointestinal complications are among the most serious side effects associated with Bextra use.

Bextra litigation can be pursued by people who have suffered the deleterious effects of Bextra use. Bextra litigation can also be pursued by the dependants and beneficiaries of those who have died as a result of serious Bextra side effects. Through Bextra litigation, a victim or his/her family can seek compensation for losses related to medical expenses, loss of income, disability, psychological suffering, and more.

In order to commence Bextra litigation, it is important to seek the advice and counsel of a qualified attorney who can help you determine your legal rights and options in a case. A legal professional can determine if you have valid cause for Bextra litigation and determine the best way to build your case so that you receive the compensation you deserve. A Bextra litigation expert is familiar with this type of personal injury case and can protect and maximize your legal interests.

The premise of Bextra litigation is that the drug's maker negligently marketed a product known to cause serious side effects without adequately relaying these risks to consumers. Bextra litigation rightly posits that Pfizer has known for years that Bextra can cause deadly skin, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal side effects, yet has failed to adequately inform or protect consumers. Under product liability (personal injury) legal statutes companies who knowingly supply defective drugs can be held liable for any damages caused by their product.

Pfizer received adverse drug reports about patients who developed serious skin conditions related to Bextra use in 2002. Bextra has been proven to cause a deadly skin condition called Stevens Johnson syndrome. This potentially fatal adverse drug reaction causes serious and often irreparable damage to the skin and mucous membranes. The FDA asked Pfizer to strengthen its warning labels in 2002, yet the company failed to comply with these requests. Acts of negligence such as this lend credence to Bextra litigation because they demonstrate Pfizer's failure to act responsibly and lawfully when marketing this once-popular prescription painkiller.

Bextra litigation can be filed individually or as part of a Bextra class action lawsuit where multiple parties are named as plaintiffs. Class action Bextra litigation seeks benefits for Bextra victims who are similarly situated in terms of their losses. There are benefits to both individual and class action Bextra litigation pursuits.
