(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 21, 2011 ) New York, NY – Families who have lost a loved one to a Darvon suicide or accidental overdose may be able to file a lawsuit to recover compensation, as the active ingredient propoxyphene has been associated with a risk of fatal overdoses. Darvon received a black box warning in 2009 to highlight the risk of a fatal propoxyphene overdose; however, it was not recalled until late 2010, when research linked the pain reliever to potentially fatal heart rhythm abnormalities. If you lost a loved one due to a Darvocet or Darvon-related death, you may be able to take legal action for your loss. Visit http://www.classaction.org/darvon-and-darvocet.html today and complete the free case review form to find out if you are entitled to financial compensation.
A number of propoxyphene suicides and accidental overdoses have been reported, occurring either alone or in combination with alcohol. Overdoses and suicide were among the most common propoxyphene side effects reported to the FDA. The Drug Abuse Warning Network, a government database, also found 503 Darvon-related deaths in 2007, with 20% of these cases being reported as Darvon suicides. Because the report covers only one-third of the U.S. population, the actual number of Darvon suicides and overdoses may be much higher.
Darvon overdoses can cause fatalities quickly, and have occurred in those with mental health problems, as well as those taking sedatives at the same time. If you suspect a loved one committed suicide using Darvon or Darvocet, or fatally overdosed on the drug, visit Class Action.org for a free online legal consultation. The Darvon litigation attorneys working with the site are providing this case review at no cost and remain committed to protecting the rights of those who lost loved ones to a Darvocet or Darvon suicide.
