Zofran is a common drug prescribed “off-label” to women to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. However, with studies linking the medication to birth defects, many families are now filing lawsuits against the manufacturer. If you or a loved one has been adversely affected by the drug Zofran, our expert personal injury lawyers in Miami at Goldberg & Rosen will help you recover the full and just compensation you deserve.
An Overview of the Zofran Lawsuits
GlaxoSmithKline currently faces hundreds of lawsuits involving families whose babies were born with birth defects after their mothers were prescribed the drug Zofran. Court documents show that despite Glaxo knowing as early as 1992 that the drug posed an “unreasonable risk of harm” to developing babies, they continued to market the drug to pregnant women.
The Zofran lawsuits pose a number of serious allegations against GlaxoSmithKline, including that the manufacturer:
- Had a duty to ensure Zofran was safe before making it available.
- Marketed the drug as a safe way to treat morning sickness for pregnant women – despite the fact that the FDA had not approved its use for this purpose.
- Misrepresented animal studies suggesting that the drug was safe, when in reality the results demonstrated abnormal bone growth and signs of toxicity.
- Did not properly assess the safety of Zofran for use in pregnant women.
- Manufactured a defective and dangerous drug.
- Fraudulently claimed that the drug was safe for pregnant women.
