Poligrip Denture Lawyers: Claims Against Poligrip for Zinc in Denture Cream
Our lawyers are reviewing Poligrip denture lawsuits throughout the United States. The denture cream lawsuits allege that two manufacturers of denture cream, GlaxoSmithKline (Poligrip) and Proctor and Gamble (Fixodent) failed to warn of the dangers of zinc in their products. According to the conclusions made in a 2008 article in the medical journal Neurology cited by Poligrip denture cream lawyers, zinc poisoning can occur with the use of high amounts of denture cream.
Zinc is not a bad thing in the proper doses and it serves it purpose in denture cream by making the dentures stick. That’s not a problem if the dentures are perfectly fitted and the Poligrip denture users only need small amount of denture cream. This leads to a great deal of zinc intake.
A lot of denture cream claims are not going to be brought because many elderly people and their doctors are not going to link their neurological problems with zinc poisoning. But with 35 million denture wearers, injuries from zinc overdose from denture cream may be more significant that even denture cream lawyers fully appreciate right now.
