Popular Dialysis Products Linked to Heart Failure
By Robert J. Boumis
 Patients with kidney disease depend on dialysis machines to take over for their ailing kidneys. Often, these machines are people’s lifelines as they wait for a donor kidney or for their own organs to start function again. However, it has come to light that certain dialysis concentrates may have lead to serious health risks.
GranuFlo and NaturaLyte are two products produce by the medical supply company Fresenius Medical Care. These products were promoted over traditional dialysis concentrates because they required less storage space than traditional dialysis concentrates. However, problems with preparing these products may have lead to serious, heart-related problems.

Redbox Wants Text Message Class Action Lawsuit Dismissed
By Jessica Tyner
 The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) was put into effect in 1991. The law protects consumers against getting sales calls they never signed up for, but as technology has changed, so has TCPA rules. It’s now illegal for a business to send a text message unless the consumer has signed up for services or requested to be contacted. That’s why you’re not getting endless text messages from companies wanting you to buy everything from massage services to guitars.

McDonald's Hit with Time-Shaving, Overtime Class Action Lawsuit
By Jessica Tyner
 It sounds pretty simple: an employee should get paid for working overtime. However, there are hundreds of unpaid overtime lawsuits popping up around the country. The latest accusation is that McDonalds is tampering with shift records in an effort to cut costs. According to a recently filed class action lawsuit, more than 12 McDonald’s restaurants -- all owned by the same person in New York -- have shaved hours off of employees’ time cards.
Plaintiff Jeffrey Schuyler is at the helm of the New York McDonald’s unpaid overtime lawsuits. Behind him are 500 employees all targeting Ralph Crawford, a successful McDonald’s franchise owner. A red flag was triggered when Crawford began requesting alarmingly high time punch changes. Suddenly, hundreds of employees’ overtime hours were changed to eight-hour shifts. However, Crawford might not be the only one to blame in this doctored time sheet lawsuit.

Januvia Linked to Increased Risk of Cancer
By Anne Bucher
 Januvia, available by prescription, is a once-daily pill that helps lower blood sugar levels in patients with type-2 diabetes. More than 25 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes in the U.S. Patients with type-2 diabetes have cells that are resistant to insulin, the hormone that causes cells to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. Januvia works by stimulating extra production of insulin from the pancreas to lower the patient’s blood sugar.
Diabetes Patients at Risk of Developing Serious Januvia Side Effects
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is scrutinizing the type-2 diabetes medication Januvia, manufactured by Merck, amid concerns that the drug may increase the risk of patients developing Januvia thyroid cancer or pancreatic cancer. Januvia was initially approved by the FDA in 2006 to help patients with type-2 diabetes control their blood sugar.
