Manufacturer Concerns Related to Vioxx

Generally, there are two critical facts about Merck’s marketing of Vioxx that are important to clients, their attorneys, and the lawsuits filed on the victim’s behalf. First, according to data from Merck’s own studies, Vioxx leads to an increased risk of heart attack and blood clotting. Merck was aware of these risks, but chose to do nothing about it! Secondly, despite these facts, Merck went ahead and marketed Vioxx anyway. Eventually, Merck voluntarily recalled Vioxx from the market.
