Kreindler Handling Zofran Birth Defect Cases

Pregnant mothers are provided with a number of drug options to treat morning sickness and nausea. One of the drugs, Zofran, is often prescribed by doctors and thought to be safe for unborn children and their mothers. However, recent studies have shown the use of Zofran during pregnancy can cause serious and devastating birth defects.

At Kreindler, our trusted attorneys work tirelessly to see that you and your child get the justice you deserve after Zofran has caused birth defects. We have been aggressively fighting for our clients' rights since 1950 and continue to be a leader in the legal community. Pharmaceutical litigation is a major part of our core practice.

Types Of Birth Defects

Also known by its generic name ondansetron, Zofran has been shown to have the potential to cause a wide range of side effects, including birth defects such as:

• Cleft lips and cleft palates

• Heart defects

• Other congenital malformation

• Clubfeet

• Craniosynostosis

While some of these birth defects can be handled with surgery, permanent scars and disabilities may be a result. Some children with these defects may never lead a normal life. It is important that you understand your rights in taking action against the manufacturer of Zofran, whose negligence resulted in your child's injuries.

Filing A Zofran Birth Defects Lawsuit On Your Behalf

Claims are being filed on the basis of negligence on the part of the pharmaceutical company. Their studies and trials of Zofran are now being recognized as incomplete, as their examination of the effects on fetuses was not extensive enough. Zofran was first approved to treat nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. The prescribing of this drug to pregnant women was considered off-label, and therefore, the ramifications of the drug had not been sufficiently investigated. This unapproved use is what has led to an increase in Zofran lawsuits.

When consulting with our firm about your Zofran case, we can discuss the situation and help you understand your options. We file lawsuits on an individual basis, not as part of a class action against the drug company. This method allows us to tailor our approach to suit your specific needs and circumstances, including your child's present and future needs.
