| Ephedra (Ma Huang) is a dangerously potent
Chinese herbal/botanical element that is found in a large, and ever
increasing, number of products sold as dietary supplements and workout
enhancers. These products have been linked to numerous devastating injuries,
including deaths, resulting from strokes and heart attacks. When taken by
the consumer Ephedra reacts within a body the very same way as
phenylpropanolamine (PPA), a pharmaceutical product that has been taken off
the market by the Food and Drug Administration due to its association with
hemorrhagic strokes. Even more, unlike food and drug products, which are
regulated for safety by the FDA, the sale of Ephedra containing products is
virtually unregulated. Billions of dollars worth of Ephedra containing
products, most of which contain other potent herbal/botanical products that
further enhance the dangers of Ephedra, are sold each year without ever
having to be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration to prove the
products are safe. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury as a result of Ephedra, call
Law Office of James C. DeZao at 1-800-675-2604-. The initial consultation is free of
charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency
fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a
monetary recovery of funds. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an
applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations, so please
call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible
compensation. |
