There is a never-ending demand for every type of drug that promises to cure conditions, relieve pain or generally improve our lives. Feeding into this demand, pharmaceutical manufacturers design prescription drugs to meet our desires.
Unfortunately, the desire of pharmaceutical manufacturers to reap the financial benefits of this public demand has resulted in many drugs being rushed to market. While the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) attempts to screen many of the drugs and medical devices, they frequently rely upon testing data supplied by drug and medical device manufacturers, which may be biased and inherently incorrect.
Consequently, we are seeing a flood of dangerous drugs and defective medical devices entering the market that simply are unsafe and that lack any long-term studies. The result? Thousands of consumers are suffering life-changing injuries and even death due to drugs and medical devices that are defective and downright dangerous.
Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers is committed to holding pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers responsible for patient injury and death caused by their products. Depending upon the drug or medical device involved, we can pursue a claim for you individually or help direct you to an established class action.
Currently, Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers is investigating cases involving drugs and medical devices. Below is a sampling of current matters we are investigating:
- DePuy hip replacement products
- Accutane
- Defective Fentanyl patches
- Gadilinium contrast agents
- Reglan
- Paxil
Certainly, as more drugs and medical devices are rushed to market, there will be faulty drugs and devices that will put consumers at risk. Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers is on the forefront investigating and prosecuting dangerous drugs and medical devices.
Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers remains committed, from both legal and financial perspectives, to seeing that our clients’ interests are protected.

If you are the recipient of a DePuy ASR Hip System the past year has likely been filled with fear, anxiety and perhaps— downright anger!
A little less than a year ago, the FDA ordered the recall of very popular DePuy hip replacement systems (ASR XL Acetabular System and Hip Resurfacing System) after they discovered that a significant number of the devices were indeed defective and required a second corrective surgery to remove the DePuy product and replace it with a new device….
In a previous post, I talked about Reglan (Metoclopramide), a drug commonly used to relieve heartburn in patients with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) or to relieve symptoms of slow stomach emptying for people with diabetes. Well, it turns out that this drug can also cause tardive dyskinesia (TD). Tardive dyskinesia is abnormal muscle movements, mostly in the face muscles, that you have no control over. TD has no treatment, and the symptoms might not go away even you stop taking reglan….
The medical evidence is mounting against pharmaceutical giant, GlaxoSmithKilne (GSK), regarding its knowledge of the increased rate of birth defects in children born to women who used Paxil during their pregnancy.
Paxil is a commonly prescribed antidepressant drug that has been used by millions of people. Paxil is part of a well known group of drugs known as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s) that includes other anti-depressants such as Zoloft and Prozac.
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (“SJS”) is a systemic disorder that affects the skin and mucous membranes, usually caused by a severe drug reaction. SJS often begins with flu-like symptoms (fever, sore throat, cough, burning eyes), then progresses to red or purple rashes and blisters (photos), especially around the mouth, nose, eyes. These symptoms eventually lead to skin sloughing (the shedding of the top layer of skin) because of cell death. Some patients with extreme cases of SJS appear as though they were severely burned due to the extensive skin loss.
