Fixodent & Poligrip Denture Cream Lawsuits l Dangerous Zinc Buildup

Denture cream manufacturers, such as GlaxoSmithKline PLC (Poligrip) and Procter and Gamble Co (Fixodent), are being sued for the failure to warn consumers that their product has the potential of causing zinc poisoning.  Studies show that zinc buildup causes zinc poisoning and neurological problems. If you think that you may be a victim of zinc poisoning due to your denture cream, contact us today for a free case review.


Immediate Legal Help is Critical

Our lawyers understand the need to conduct immediate legal investigation which includes:

- An immediate investigation to determine if you have health related issues caused by a denture cream
- Determining the extent of your injury
- Determining who is responsible for your injury
- Reviewing your medical documents to look for hidden legal deadlines
- Giving you answers to the tough legal questions you are facing right now
- Choosing the best place to file your lawsuit or claim
- Getting a far recovery for issues related to your injury such as medical bills




We understand that victims are not only faced with costly medical bills,
but are also faced with very tough economic problems.
 

This is why our legal team works on a contingency fee basis. 
Unless we make a recovery for you, you will not owe us any attorney's fees.

Lawsuits

Over 35 million Americans use denture creams or adhesives to keep their dentures in place.  Among these consumers, the larger part of denture cream use is by the elderly. Lawsuits have been filed in California, Colorado, Florida, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. On May 28, 2009 the Multi district Litigation panel held a hearing in Louisville, Kentucky, but lawmakers are still waiting on results. 


Zinc Toxicity

The National Academy of Sciences reported that the highest amount of zinc that can be safely tolerated is 40 milligrams per day. Our recommended daily allowances, according to gender, are 11 milligrams per day for men and 8 milligrams per day for women. 

Fixodent and Poligrip contain between 17,000 and 34,000 micrograms per gram.  On average, these consumers are potentially exposed to about 330 milligrams of zinc per day depending on how often the product is used.
