PHEN CLAIMS DEADLINE A large percentage of former Fen Phen users are now suffering heart damage, including valvular heart disease. Symptoms of these serious heart diseases are sometimes conspicuous, leading to a delayed diagnosis.
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania approved a Nationwide Class Action Settlement Agreement with American Home Products Corporation. Anyone who has taken the diet drugs Fen Phen, Redux, and Pondimin can receive compensation and benefits due to the harmful effects the drugs caused. The monetary compensation that is available to certain former Fen Phen users is more than one million dollars. Individuals not part of the class action have received even larger compensations. Anyone wishing to opt-out of the class action can still do so at this time.
Our team of experienced attorneys can help recover the damages you are entitled to when you contact us. |
Fen Phen manufacturer American Home Products (AHP) owned rights to market and sell the diet drug, which made knowledge of the research and the Adverse Drug Experience reports on Fen Phen available. Despite knowing about the serious health complications Fen Phen cause they continued to make Fen Phen available to the public and failed to properly warn patients. Now the drug company has agreed to a large payout to Fen Phen users as a result of the large number of patients diagnosed with heart damage, like primary pulmonary hypertension.

The Fen Phen Settlement that became final on January 11, 2002 has a claim deadline of August 2002.
