Dangerous Drugs - Fen Phen
FenPhen, also known as Redux, pondimin, fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine, phentermine - was the miracle diet drug taken by nearly six million consumers before it was determined to cause severe heart-valve and lung damage, later being pulled from the market in September of 1997. There were reports of more than 120 deaths associated with use of Redux alone.
Numerous lawsuits and class action suits were filed nationwide following serious heart and lung problems associated with these diet drugs. In 1999, a no-fault settlement in the amount of $4 billion was reached with the manufacturer for compensation and payment for medical screenings.
The Fen-Phen settlement included nearly 300,000 people and is final as of August 2002. Eligibility was open to all persons who used the drug and persons with serious injuries such as heart valve damage, lung disease or primary pulmonary hypertension may be eligible for significant compensation.
