Defective Products Come in all Types.

Were you aware that in February Johnson and Johnson was found guilty in a 72 million dollar lawsuit for failing to warn its users about the potential risk of cancer caused by its powders?  Yes, we are talking about baby and bath powders!  For 30 years there has been a study linking the possibility of ovarian cancer in women who use talcum powder on sanitary napkins.

In this particular 75 million dollar case, the jurors awarded the money to the St. Louis family of a woman who died of ovarian cancer.  The American Cancer Society has issued a statement saying that those who are concerned about the use of talc may use a cornstarch-based powder instead.  This case simply illustrates that seemingly innocent products can sometimes be harmful.

No one wants to come looking for trouble, but if it arrives on your doorstep you need to act quickly.  In New Mexico and the Great Southwest you have one of the best defective product attorneys in all of the land at your disposal.  Attorney Kenneth Wagner successfully won the famous McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case.  Call him today at his Albuquerque office at (505) 242-6300 if you feel that you might have a defective product issue.

Nursing Home Abuse in New Mexico.

Have you ever thought about the number of people who live their daily lives in a nursing home?  That number is well over a million and a half and with the aging Baby Boomers it will continue to grow.  Over the next 30 years that number is expected to quadruple!  Many factors contribute to nursing home abuse.  Underfunding, ill-trained staff, and easy access to medicines, etc. are contributing factors.

Always look carefully at your loved ones for cuts or bruises that may be physical manifestations of nursing home abuse.  It is not quite so easy to spot mood changes in the patient.  You must separate a bad day from chronic abuse.  If you see physical, emotional, or mental changes in this very important person in your life it is time to take action.
