Chicago Drug Contamination Lawyers

As technology increases and trade between countries becomes more complex, it is becoming increasingly difficult to know where our consumer products come from. This is particularly troubling when the products in question are prescription or over the counter drugs. The risk of drug contamination may be greater now than it has been in decades.

You may have grounds for legal action if you or a member of your family has been hurt by a contaminated drug. To learn how you can hold drug manufacturers or distributers responsible for the injuries they cause, contact Chicago contaminated drug lawyers Friedman & Bonebrake, P.C., at 312-466-8200.

The Dangers of Contaminated Drugs

Drug contamination is distinguished from faulty drugs or other pharmaceutical errors by the intentions of the negligent party. In a drug contamination case, the chemical that is harming patients was not an intentional ingredient. Instead, it became mixed in with the drug due to inadequate oversight of production, storage, or shipping.

Of course, the kind of injuries caused to patients will depend on the nature of the contaminant. Contact a Chicago drug contamination lawyer if you have suffered an injury like the following after taking a contaminated drug:

• Allergic reaction to a contaminant
• Exposure to a toxic substance like glycerin, mercury, or lead
• Reduced effectiveness of the drug
• Exposure to dangerous bacteria or viruses
• Interaction between the contaminant and other drugs or chemicals
