Fixodent Denture Cream Poisoning Lawyer Interviews

Chicago, IL Patients who believe they developed denture adhesive zinc poisoning should have a blood test done before contacting an attorney. J. Benton Stewart, an attorney at Stewart Law P.L.L.C., says that without this test, it may be impossible to prove that use of denture creams caused a patient's health problems.

St. Louis, MO Patients who use denture cream may not yet realize they are at risk of developing denture cream zinc poisoning. Attorney Jeff Lowe, partner at Carey, Danis & Lowe, explains how products like Fixodent denture adhesive and Super Poligrip are associated with zinc poisoning and nerve damage.

Wilmington, NC People who regularly use denture cream, including Fixodent, PoliGrip and Super PoliGrip adhesives might be surprised to learn that the products have been linked to a risk of health problems including neurological issues. In fact, a study published in the journal Neurology, in 2008, has found a link between overuse of denture creams and a risk of zinc toxicity. That has prompted lawsuits against the makers of denture creams, alleging consumers should have been warned about the risks of these products.
