Denture Cream Lawsuits
Lawsuits alleging that denture creams can cause zinc buildup in the body and neurological problems are on the rise, according to the National Law Journal. In the lawsuits, plaintiff attorneys claim that products including well known brands PoliGrip and Fixodent can lead to neurological problems because copper and zinc compete to bind to receptors, and the body expels the copper that isn't absorbed. Denture cream lawyers have filed denture cream lawsuits in California, Colorado, New York,, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Tennessee and there is an motion to consolidate these cases in an MDL (class action for discovery purposes). .
Dentists have recommended denture cream to denture users for years but these are not malpractice cases: they are product liability claims against the manufacturers of PoliGrip and Fixodent for, among other things, failure to warn of the risk of zinc or even properly label the product that it contains zinc.
