Zicam linked to loss of smell

Zicam could have caused your injury.
If you use Zicam intranasal cold remedies and have lost your sense of smell, you should know that the zinc in Zicam maybe to blame. Our Zicam injury lawyers are currently representing people who have been stricken with loss of smell because of the zinc in Zicam intranasal products. If you are interested in filing a Zicam injury lawsuit, we urge you to get in touch with us immediately.
In June 2009, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) warned consumers not to use three Zicam intranasal cold remedies: Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel; Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs; and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size. The warning came after the agency had received over one hundred reports of loss of smell occurring in people using these three Zicam products. At the same time, the agency issued Matrixx Initiatives a warning letter that cited its failure to provide adequate warnings about the risks of these dangerous Zicam products.
The link between Zicam intranasal products and loss of smell has been known for quite some time, yet Matrixx continued to market these drugs without warning consumers that they could cause some people to permanently lose their sense of smell. If you or someone you love has used Zicam intranasal products, and have since lost your sense of smell, you may be entitled to compensation. Please contact one of our Zicam injury lawyers right away to protect your legal rights.
FDA Zicam Injury Alert
Consumers need to know that the FDA did not require that Zicam undergo clinical testing for safety because it is considered a homeopathic remedy.
In its June 2009 public safety alert, the FDA said it had received 130 reports of loss of smell associated with the use of Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel; Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs; and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size. During a conference call to announce the Zicam alert, the FDA also said Matrixx had received an additional 800 reports it hadn’t made available to the agency. The FDA warned consumers to stop using and discard or return the Zicam zinc-containing intranasal products.
