The Onder Law Firm Seeks to Hold Novartis Accountable for the Suffering Tasigna Has Caused Families

Onder Law's compassionate, zealous and experienced personal injury and wrongful death attorneys helping those who have been injured by corporate negligence and greed

Friday, September 29, 2017 - Tasigna lawyers at The Onder Law Firm represent clients in all 50 states in litigation against Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis AG makers of the deadly anti-leukemia drug Tasigna. Having won jury trials and hundreds of millions of dollars for clients, wrongful death and personal injury attorneys at the firm are knowledgeable and experienced in product liability law pertaining to dangerous drugs and the legal requirements that companies have to warn the public as to their side effects. The firm zealously represents plaintiffs of families that have been ripped apart by the negligence and greed of nameless, faceless companies whose only objective is to maximize their profits at the expense of a trusting and unsuspecting public. If you suffer from atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease or any coronary-related condition and have taken Tasigna, call Onder Law for a free consultation.

People who are suffering from atherosclerosis and peripheral artery disease are filing suit against drug maker Novartis AG alleging that the cancer treatment drug Tasigna is responsible for additional pain, suffering and ultimately death. In March 2016, surviving loved ones of a deceased California man filed a wrongful death lawsuit that purports that marketing and other executives at Novartis knew of the linkage between Tasigna and heart disease and did nothing to warn the American cancer medical community. Six months earlier, Novartis settled a lawsuit with the U.S. government for $390 million and was forced to admit paying illegal kickbacks to pharmacists in exchange for dispensing Tasigna and other Novartis drugs to Medicaid and Medicare patients.

Other Scientific Journals and international health societies have published the findings of scientific studies linking Tasigna to various heart diseases. Researchers for the American Journal of Hematology found that patients using Tasigna that developed peripheral artery disease suffered strokes from clogged arteries leading to the brain. Canadian government agency Health Canada has issued the sternest possible warning to Canadian physicians regarding, "the possible risk of developing atherosclerosis-related diseases with the use of TASIGNA* (nilotinib).

As a Tasigna atherosclerosis sufferer, you may hold Novartis AG accountable for their failure to adequately warn the American public as they did for Canadians that Tasigna causes atherosclerosis and peripheral artery disease. Drug makers selling in America are required by law to notify consumers of the health risks and side effects of using their drugs even if such notification would cost the company millions of dollars in lost sales. If you or a loved one has been injured or died from atherosclerosis or peripheral artery disease and have used Tasigna chemotherapy treatment you may be entitled to collect real monetary compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering as well as punitive damage against the company. It is not unusual for such punitive damages to be as much as ten times the amount of compensatory amounts as judges and juries seek not only to punish the company but also to draw media attention to the drug's deadly effects so that the public can take defensive action. Such was the case recently as millions of American women were alerted to the deadly ovarian cancer side effects of using Johnson & Johnson's Baby powder for feminine hygiene purposes. Women who developed ovarian cancer, as well as the estates of women who died, have won hundreds of millions of dollars in punitive damages against Johnson & Johnson, a company who, like Novartis, put company profits ahead of the health concerns of their customers.

Currently, Tasigna atherosclerosis lawsuits are proceeding individually and no class action suit has been filed. Future multiple individual lawsuits may be consolidated in multi-district litigation on a state by state basis for the purposes of speeding up and not replicating discovery and other pretrial proceedings. If you have taken Tasigna and suffered atherosclerosis or peripheral artery disease, St. Louis based Onder Law stands ready to assist you in filing a claim against Novartis.
