Denture Cream Lawsuits

Visit our Denture Cream website

Denture products containing zinc have been pulled from the market because the denture creams have been associated with crippling nerve damage. In some cases, long-term users of the product have found their ability to use their hands or walk severely impeded.

Kline & Specter, P.C., is filing lawsuits against denture cream manufacturers because of debilitating effects suffered by people who used products containing zinc, such as the Procter & Gamble brand Fixodent and various products bearing drugstore labels.

If you or a loved one suffered severe neurological symptoms after using one of these products, you should contact a Fixodent or denture cream attorney immediately.

Kline & Specter, with some 30 attorneys, including several who are also doctors, is one of the nation's leading law firms currently handling denture cream cases across the country. The firm is liaison counsel for the cases and leaders in the litigation, with many of the cases centered in Philadelphia. Kline & Specter has extensive experience in winning large verdicts and settlements in product liability cases. (See our Major Victories)

The denture cream products can over the long-term cause a buildup of zinc in the body which prevents the necessary absorption of copper, which in turn can produce neurological symptoms. Products pulled from the market account for more than one-fourth of those used by an estimated 30 million denture wearers in the United States.

One such user was Diann Jones, a Kline & Specter client, who began using a Poligrip product after suffering gum disease during pregnancy and having her teeth extracted in April 2001. Six years later,  Jones, of St. Clair, Pa., began having difficulty doing her job as a machine operator and production floor supervisor, at first losing feeling in her feet, then losing her balance and falling when her knees and ankles gave out. She was diagnosed with zinc overload and copper deficiency and now, at 44 years old, she must use a walker, cannot bend her fingers for long periods and has constant pain in both legs.
