A Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit is a civil legal case which is filed on behalf of individuals who have suffered similar losses as a result of Bextra/SJS use. A Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit is filed against Pfizer, the makers of this dangerous and defective drug. Participation in a Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit is a viable legal option for people who seek relief from damages caused by serious and potentially fatal Bextra/SJS side effects.

A Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit is an appropriate legal remedy for patients who have taken Bextra/SJS and suffered serious skin, cardiovascular, or other side effects. Bextra/SJS is a COX-2 selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that was approved by the FDA in 2001 to treat chronic pain conditions like arthritis and menstrual cramps. On April 7, 2005, the FDA ordered Pfizer to issue a Bextra/SJS recall after concluding that the potential side effects of this top selling pain killer far outweigh its intended benefits.

Reports of serious and life threatening Bextra/SJS side effects first surfaced shortly after this drug was approved for use in the United States. Bextra/SJS is the only COX-2 NSAID that can cause a serious and deadly adverse skin reaction called Stevens Johnson syndrome. Stevens Johnson syndrome is an explosive inflammatory skin condition that causes a patient to burn from the inside out, resulting in death if not properly treated. People who have suffered from serious skin reactions caused by Bextra/SJS use have a legal right to seek compensation through a Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit.

A Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit is also an appropriate method of relief for people who have suffered adverse cardiovascular events associated with Bextra/SJS use. In November 2004, Pfizer released the results of a study that found increased cardiovascular risks in Bextra/SJS users. A group of recovering heart surgery patients was given Bextra/SJS for pain management and another was not. The Bextra/SJS users were two times more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke, blood clot, or other adverse cardiovascular event.

These results followed the recall of a similar drug called Vioxx because of similar risks. Pfizer adamantly maintained that Bextra/SJS was safe for use and even refused to add warnings on Bextra/SJS labeling to warn patients of these deadly side effects. A Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit posits that Pfizer has knowingly marketed a defective and dangerous drug for years, failing to adequately acknowledge its risks and thereby causing serious injury to consumers.

A Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit is pursued much like an individual Bextra/SJS lawsuit except that the plaintiffs can include any similarly situated party who has been injured by Bextra/SJS side effects. The settlement in a Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit will compensate all those named in the suit for damages like medical expenses, loss of income, and psychological suffering. There are many benefits to seeking relief from Bextra/SJS damages through a Bextra/SJS class action lawsuit.
