Gadolinium
Did You Suffer Hearing Loss After Using Defective 3M Combat Arms Earplugs?
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis after receiving an MRI that included the use of gadolinium dye, you may be entitled to compensation for your suffering. Gadolinium dye is a contrast agent used in MRI scans to help highlight certain areas of the body. Unfortunately, it has been linked to the development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, a rare and debilitating condition that can cause thickening and hardening of the skin and connective tissues throughout the body.
What Is the Lawsuit About?
In recent research and adverse event reports to the FDA, Gadolinium dyes have been linked to diagnoses of Gadolinium Toxicity, Gadolinium Deposition Disease (GDD), and Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF). Side effects from gadolinium exposure are severe and may be life threatening. Patients who have been exposed to this substance during an MRI and developed complications after having no known kidney issues are suing the manufacturers seeking compensation for their injuries. It was not until 2018 that the FDA updated the prescribing information to contain warnings about gadolinium retention. Prior to that, countless patients had already been exposed without being aware of the risks.
Why Would I Qualify For This Lawsuit?
If Any of the Questions Below Apply To You, You May Qualify:
- Were you or a loved one exposed to a gadolinium-based contrast agent during an MRI or medical imaging exam?
- Do you believe you should have received a warning of the potential risks of using the dye prior to the procedure?
- Did you or a loved one develop Gadolinium Toxicity, GDD or NSF after being given a gadolinium-based dye?
- If you answered YES, you may be eligible for compensation. Contact The Angell Law Firm to discuss your options to initiate legal action against the manufacturers of the gadolinium dyes.
