Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest Class Action Lawsuit Settlement News! Monster Rehab Energy Drink Class Action Lawsuit
By Kimberly Mirando
 Monster Energy Co. has been hit with a class action lawsuit claiming that its Monster Rehab Green Tea + Energy drink contains unknown amounts of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (ECGC), “an extremely dangerous and potentially lethal ingredient,” and that the company fails to warn consumers that it could cause hepatoxic side effects, or chemical-driven liver damage.
California resident and lead plaintiff Jennifer Wooding alleges in the Monster Rehab class action lawsuit that medical research shows ECGC has been linked to liver injuries and could cause adverse side effects, and that it should not be consumed with alcohol or by those with compromised livers. Yet advertisements for Monster Rehab suggest it should be consumed as a pick-me-up after a long night of partying.
"Instead of being the safe energy drink that Defendants promised, the subject product causes dangerous hepatotoxic side effects, including without limitation, death, acute liver failure, hepatitis and other liver injuries," the Monster Rehab class action lawsuit says. "Despite knowing that the subject product could result in severe injury and even death in susceptible users, Defendants marketed and sold the subject product to millions of unsuspecting consumers without any warning whatsoever."

Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest NuvaRing Class Action Lawsuit News! NuvaRing Side Effects to Grow As Usage Increases By John Curran
 NuvaRing side effects lawsuit attorneys have filed hundreds of claims for their clients, but that does not seem to be an issue for many women who are happy to use the intrauterine device. In fact, in the past several years, there's been a drastic uptick in the number of Americans willing to risk NuvaRing blood clot conditions.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, usage of all intrauterine devices, including copper-based products has increased sevenfold in the past 15 or so years. While many of those users are not risking NuvaRing deep vein thrombosis side effects, hundreds of thousands are. It's an interesting conundrum, especially because the Merck-made product is the subject of more than 1,000 FDA adverse effects reports. However, many women are still choosing the contraceptive.
It is not alone in hormonal birth control options that cause issues. Basically any new generation choice offers women the opportunity to deal with NuvaRing deep vein thrombosis side effects. However, the appeal remains that a vaginal ring is inserted monthly, unlike pills that require daily adherence to a schedule. At the same time, NuvaRing blood clot conditions have struck down even Olympic hopefuls, so it is not a question of age or health.

Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest Homeopathic Fraud Class Action Lawsuit News! Homeopathy Fraud Lawsuits on the Rise By Sarah Pierce
 Homeopathic products and remedies have become increasingly popular over the years, turning it into a multi-billion dollar industry treating millions of adults and children each year. Yet, despite its popularity, critics question the validity of homeopathy, citing scientific evidence showing homeopathic products are no more effective than a placebo. This has led to an influx of class action lawsuits against the makers of homeopathic products accusing them of scamming consumers into purchasing products that are nothing more than expensive sugar pills.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is an alternative system of medicine that involves treating an individual with highly diluted substances designed to trigger the body’s natural system of healing. Homeopathy is based on the principle that you can treat “like with like.” In other words, a substance that causes symptoms when taken in large doses can be used in small amounts to treat those same symptoms. This concept is sometimes used in traditional medicine. For example, small doses of pollen are sometimes used to de-sensitize patients with allergies, and the stimulant Ritalin is used to treat patients with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD).

Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest Zithromax Class Action Lawsuit News! Zithromax Side Effects Part of $7.5 Trillion Problem
By John Curran
 In most cases, newer antibiotics are very effective ways of treating bacterial infections. However, a lot of prescriptions that can lead to Z-Pak Stevens-Johnson Syndrome side effects are simply not necessary. Doctors use them like placebos for patients who want to do something about viral infections. So not only do people face Zithromax side effects, the entire country foots a massive bill.
According to the independent National Academies of Science and other researchers, the annual cost for unneeded medical treatments is about $750 billion. So while people of every political stripe argue about how to reduce the deficit, no one is talking much about over-prescribing that leaves thousands facing Zithromax heart attack side effects. Whether the healthcare reform bill is repealed or not, the costs are still expected to be about $7.5 trillion over the next decade.
