A number of liver failure lawsuits have already been filed on behalf of individuals across the United States who claim to have suffered complications associated with Tylenol use, and attorneys continue to investigate similar claims involving Tylenol users nationwide. Unfortunately, many of these claims have been brought by individuals who were unaware of the risk of potentially life-threatening side effects possibly associated with Tylenol – critical information which the manufacturers of the pain reliever are being accused of withholding from consumers and the medical community. If you took Tylenol and you have since suffered a major side effect like liver damage or liver failure, contact a knowledgeable attorney in your area to discuss your legal options. You may have grounds to file a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, in order to pursue financial compensation for your injuries and medical bills.

When parents think about accidental poisonings in kids, they probably envision their children playing with bleach, eating bath beads or drinking liquid soap. A much more prevalent household danger for children, however, is accidental medication poisoning. In fact, for every child in the emergency department for poisoning from a household product, there are two receiving treatment for pharmaceutical drug poisoning. Although child-resistant caps may be a successful deterrent for some children, the caps certainly aren't 100% effective. And because nearly every medicine cabinet in the United States contains at least one kind of prescription or over-the-counter medication, virtually any child with access to these drugs may be at risk of potentially deadly medication poisoning.

According to a new meta-analysis, acetaminophen and non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are associated with a significantly increased risk of kidney cancer side effects. Acetaminophen - better known by its brand name Tylenol - is one of the most trusted medications in the United States, and is present in a significant amount of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Unfortunately, this means that many Americans take medications without realizing that acetaminophen is an active ingredient, which could have devastating effects. If you have suffered injuries that you believe to be related to the use of Tylenol, consult an experienced attorney in your area to discuss your legal options.

Significant attention has been paid recently to the risk of life-threatening complications potentially linked to the use of Tylenol, including acute liver failure. In fact, the FDA reports that acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose is the leading cause of liver failure in the United States, contributing to 56,000 emergency room visits, 26,000 hospitalizations and 458 deaths every year. Unfortunately, the risk of devastating medical problems possibly associated with Tylenol use is not new, and, in addition to acute liver failure, use of the pain reliever may be linked to other serious medical problems like Alzheimer's disease and memory loss. If you took Tylenol and have since experienced liver failure or another adverse medical event, consult a knowledgeable lawyer in your area to discuss the possibility of filing a claim against Tylenol maker Johnson & Johnson.
