According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the FDA has received more than 1,000 reports from pelvic mesh and transvaginal mesh manufacturers indicating that their product was associated with serious and painful side effects (http://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/safety/alertsandnotices/publichealthnotifications/ucm061976.htm). Similarly, Mirena IUD (intra-uterine device) has been associated with a variety of serious complications, including miscarriage. Mirena IUD is a medical product used to prevent pregnancy. Chantix, a prescription medication designed to help adults stop smoking, has been used by more than eight million people across the United States and is associated with a variety of physical and psychiatric complications.

Meyerkord & Meyerkord also helps clients file Actos and GranuFlo claims. Actos is a diabetes medication. Although it can be used to treat type two diabetes in adults, it has been connected to a number of serious side effects – including chest pains, shortness of breath, heart failure and bladder cancer. The firm is committed to helping clients file claims to recover compensation for illness and suffering caused by Actos. Like Actos, GranuFlo has been associated with serious heart problems. GranuFlo is a dry acid product used to treat acute kidney failure. Unfortunately, it has been connected to instances of cardiac arrhythmia. If cardiac arrhythmia is not treated properly, it may lead to death.
