Remicade Lawsuits
Remicade is meant to reduce inflammatory responses in the body—primarily rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. However, Remicade’s benefits may not always outweigh its risks.
Researchers have linked Remicade with serious and sometimes fatal side effects including skin cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, infection, liver damage, lymphoma, lupus and tuberculosis.
Class action lawsuit filed in NJ
A person who has been injured as the result of adverse Remicade side effects may be entitled to compensation.
In 2002, a class action Remicade lawsuit was filed in New Jersey, alleging that Centocor artificially inflated the price of the drug. And in 2006, a couple in Texas won a $19.4 million award because jurors concluded that the company had fraudulently marketed Remicade. That couple won monetary and punitive damages in their lawsuit.
If you or someone you love has suffered serious injury because of Remicade, you should seek medical and legal help. You may also wish to speak with an attorney about how you can file a case in order to seek compensation for your injuries and medical expenses.
