Did Avandia make me sick? Do I need a lawyer?


Question Posted Saturday February 26 2011, 12:28 am

I got this e-mail and I want to ask you if you think this is a scam or should I get in on a lawsuit?

"Thursday, February 24, 2011
Avandia, the Popular Diabetes Drug, has been Restricted by FDA and Banned in Europe

Avandia, the Type-2 diabetes drug produced by GlaxoSmithKline, has been warned against by the Food and Drug Administration as well as banned in both Europe and the UAE. Experts claim that Avandia may be responsible for causing heart problems as well as strokes in patients.

Have you taken Avandia? You may be entitled to a settlement - but you need to act now."

No it is not a scam. The law firm that sent the E-mail has filed a class action law suit against the maker of Avandia.

If you are a Diabetic and have been treated with this drug and suffered any side effects from it. Then you might be covered under the class action law suit and awarded damages based on the amount of the award, the number of litigants minus the legal fees. The award could be, large or small or nothing at all.

You received the Email because your name and Email address where on a list either supplied by the drug maker or some other list provider that has you in some manner tagged to Avandia. If you have not ever been treated with this drug, ignore the Email.

If you have taken Avandia as part of a diabetes treatment then I would suggest talking with a local attorney before responding to the Email.
