OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- What is believed to be the first
lawsuit in the world was filed today in federal court in Oklahoma City against
Merck & Co., the makers of Vioxx, alleging that the drug was defective and
that Merck & Co. failed to warn the public and healthcare providers of certain
risks associated with taking the popular arthritis drug. The lawsuit, filed
by the Oklahoma City law firms of Federman & Sherwood and Strong, Martin &
Associates on behalf of an Oklahoma County resident, alleges that Vioxx causes
an increased risk of heart attack, blood clots and other serious
cardiovascular events, which can lead to serious and permanent injuries and
death. Federman & Sherwood and Strong, Martin & Associates were lead counsel
in the recent recall of the Bayer Corporation cholesterol lowering drug,
Baycol. For further information call toll free: 1-866-859-7500.
