Lexapro Lawsuit

Lexapro Lawsuit 2012

Families throughout the United States have looked at their legal options and the latest litigation news including Lexapro lawsuit settlements based on the serious side effects from this SSRI drug including PPHN, heart defect, abdominal defects and cranial defects. Currently no national Lexapro class action lawsuits for birth defects has been filed and claims are being made individually on behalf of people whose baby has suffered from a Lexapro birth defect.

The Lexapro lawsuit claims include that the drug manufacturer was negligent in several ways including but not limited to:

• Represented that Lexapro caused minimal side effects while knowing that the drug causes birth defects far more frequently than represented

• Had actual knowledge through studies, that using Lexapro during pregnancy increased the risk of birth defects

• Had actual knowledge that the risk of Lexapro birth defects in women who used the drug during their pregnancy had a greater than disclosed risk in packaging warnings for Lexapro

• Failed to investigate the accuracy of its Lexapro label once it became aware of signals indicating a safety issue

• Failed to monitor all relevant scientific literature related to Lexapro side effects

• Failed to conduct and report post market safety surveillance on Lexapro

• Lexapro was not reasonably safe as designed because the foreseeable risks involved in its use outweighed the therapeutic benefits of the drug
