New York-Based Sanders Law Firm Files Five Product Liability Lawsuits Against Pfizer on Behalf of Chantix? Plaintiffs

Mineola, N.Y. (Lexis Nexis) August 5, 2008 - Marc Grossman (http://thesandersfirm.com/attorney.asp?attorneyid=14), senior partner of leading national personal injury law firm Sanders Viener Grossman LLP, today announced that he has filed five separate product liability lawsuits against Pfizer, Inc., manufacturer of the hugely popular Chantix smoking cessation drug.

The lawsuits (Cases 110517/08, 110518/08, 110519/08, 110520/08 and 110561/08) were filed in the Supreme Court of New York, New York County, and claim that each of the plaintiffs either committed or attempted suicide while suffering from neuropsychiatric side effects that resulted from taking Chantix.

Chantix has been prescribed to more than 6 million people worldwide since its launch in August 2006 and has been approved for use in more than 70 countries as a drug to assist adults who want to quit smoking. However, recent studies have shown that Chantix (http://thesandersfirm.com/chantix/) may cause serious adverse side effects, such as suicidal thoughts and erratic behavior.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an alert "to highlight important revisions to the warnings and precautions sections of the prescribing information for Chantix regarding serious neuropsychiatric symptoms."

"We've been investigating claims regarding Chantix ever since the FDA's initial communications about reported side effects, so our firm was well-prepared to vigorously represent our clients when we were contacted by their families," said Grossman. "For those familiar with this year's Tony Award-winning play, 'August: Osage County,' which has sparked debate about the risks of suicide and dysfunction stemming from prescription drug use, the fact that we are filing these actions on the eve of August 1st is a tragic illustration of life imitating art."

The filing of the Chantix lawsuits continues an extremely active year for Sanders Viener Grossman, in which the firm has secured a series of large settlements on behalf of its clients. The firm recently recovered large settlements for approximately 300 plaintiffs involved in the Vioxx-related litigation with Merck & Co. Last month, Sanders Viener Grossman recovered $8 million in damages (http://thesandersfirm.com/news.asp#article2) for its clients over a span of just eight days, including a $5 million recovery in a product liability case.

According to Grossman, the firm has extensive experience with defective drug litigation and can provide Chantix victims with free consultations and case reviews (http://thesandersfirm.com/chantix/#form) to make sure their legal rights are protected.

Antelope Valley Estate Planning Law Firm Warns Abolishment of California's 'No Contest' Clause Will Lead to False Claims
Antelope Valley estate planning law firm Thompson Von Tungeln warns that the abolishment of California's "No Contest" Clause will lead to false claims. In doing away with most "no contest" clauses, this recent legislation signed into law in July 2008 allows almost any person to contest a will or trust. The result of Senate Bill 1264 will mean many more lawsuits taking several years to resolve at enormous cost, pressuring rightful heirs to settle.

Finding a good Real Estate Attorney
Any real estate course or seminar is not a substitute for a good attorney. Finding a high-quality real estate attorney might be quite difficult, since most attorneys are not themselves investors or very familiar with new creative transactions. Most attorneys would give you just necessary advice to keep them from getting sued up, but do not give enough advice for you to make more money out of any real estate deal.

Law Of Attraction And Divine Order
I remember as a child hearing that "Order is heaven's first law." I think it was when my mother wanted me to clean my room. In addition, I know that my friend Judy used to say, ?Order is about finding a place for everything and then it is about remembering where it is.? Therefore, order is really about knowing where everything is. That is the kind of order I hire an assistant for. It could not be an innate Divine Quality, or it would have come naturally. Straightening out my desk does not come naturally to me. Keeping clean closets and drawers? For some it comes naturally, but for the rest of us? If you study personality types, you understand there are different ways of being. Therefore, the above could not exactly be what order as a Di...
