Taxotere lawsuits..

5/24/2017

1 Comment

 

A large number of breast cancer patients in the U.S. have taken Sanofi's chemotherapy drug, Taxotere, to treat various forms of cancer. Many women who were left with permanent hair loss from the drug are filing lawsuits against Sanofi, the manufacturer of Taxotere. Hair loss is a known side effect of many cancer treatments, but it is only temporary in most treatments. Sanofi failed to warn patients taking Taxotere that their drug could cause permanent hair loss when they knew that this was a known side effect.

Despite informing patients who used their cancer drug in other countries, Sanofi did not warn women in the U.S. The words “permanent hair loss” or “alopecia”, the technical word for the condition of permanent hair loss, do not appear in any information published by Sanofi in the U.S. in regard to Taxotere according to lawsuits.
This failure to warn removed the choice of patients in their decision to use or not use Taxotere, to risk permanent hair loss by using this drug. That decision making process was denied to Taxotere patients in U.S. by the decision of Sanofi to not warn.


If you or a loved one has taken Taxotere and been a victim of permanent hair loss, please call our law firm today at 1-214-522-9999 and let us evaluate your case.

Texting while driving

TEXTING WHILE DRIVING IS OUTLAWED IN TEXAS

On Friday, May 19, 2017,the Texas Senate HB 62, which outlaws texting while driving. The new law does not effect talking on a cell phone while driving or texting on a map app for directions. 

“I have waited 10 years to make this motion,” said state Sen. Judith Zaffirini.
The state’s rules, if signed by the governor, would supersede city texting bans and allow for other uses such as mapping features. Cities, such as Austin and Bellaire, could still prohibit talking on a phone while driving, or require hands-free devices to talk on a phone while driving.

Under the state ban, drivers could still text when the vehicle is not in motion, and use their phone for texting in case of emergency.

The bill only requires the signature of the governor and it will become law sometime in the near future.

Taxotere

Taxotere® is a drug known as docetaxel. It is a chemotherapy drug used to treat breast cancer and has been linked to permanent hair loss, also known as permanent significant alopecia, or PSA.
 
Many people are filing lawsuits against the manufacturer of Taxotere, Sanofi-Aventis, because they failed to warn patients and the medical community about the risk of permanent baldness from taking Taxotere.
While temporary hair loss is a common side effect of breast cancer chemotherapy, permanent hair loss is not.
 
Sanofi had prior knowledge through their own in-house studies that there was a 10% chance that their drug would cause permanent hair loss, not just temporary hair loss. In spite of this knowledge they failed to timely warn the public in the United States that this permanent hair loss was a possibility even though they had previously warned in Canada and Europe through a labeling process.
 
The disfigurement of permanent hair loss is an unacceptable side effect when the patient has no idea that this is a possible outcome of taking the drug. The emotional damage of having cancer to begin with should not be compounded with the reality that your hair may never grow back. Unacceptable.
 
Our law firm is accepting Taxotere cases for evaluation at this time and we welcome the chance to help you.
Please call today for a free consultation at 1-214-522-9999 or complete and return the form below.
