Fixodent Class Action Lawsuit

February 10, 2011, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

The New York Daily News reports that a "class-action lawsuit" has been filed against Proctor & Gamble, claiming that Fixodent denture cream makes users ill because of its high zinc content.

That is not exactly right. The denture cream lawsuits are not a class action lawsuit but the cases are a class action for the purposes of discovery.

Plaintiffs' lawsuits allege that denture cream has caused neurological illnesses and limb numbness from excessive zinc. The suit also claims there have been studies that show a connection between denture users and neurological disease. The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages.

The denture cream lawsuits have real merit. In 2009, Proctor & Gamble added a warning label to its Fixodent denture cream stating that "prolonged zinc intake may be linked to adverse health effects."

Many people have felt some side effects from excessive zinc. Our law firm, however, is only handling serious injury denture cream cases.
