Risk of Zinc Poisoning and Other Health Problems from Products with Zinc
People should make sure they are aware of the growing number of products that have begun to add zinc as an ingredient to cure a wide variety of ailments and fortify the body against disease. The presence of zinc in Zicam nasal spray has been linked to permanent loss of smell in consumers who thought they were using a safe cold remedy, and the levels of zinc contained in several popular denture cream adhesives has caused many users to suffer debilitating neurological damage caused by zinc poisoning. Many consumers remain unaware of the damagers that can be posed by zinc.

Fixodent Suits, Poligrip Suits Mount Over Denture Adhesive Problems from Zinc Poisoning

Denture Cream Class Action: Fixodent and Poligrip Lawsuits Consolidated in MDL
A panel of U.S. judges has agreed to centralize all federal denture cream lawsuits against the makers of Super Poligrip and Fixodent in a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). Although the cases will all be consolidated and handled in a manner similar to how a denture cream class action lawsuit would be handled during discovery, the lawsuits will still remain individual claims and if they do not settle or resolve during pretrial litigation, they will be returned back to the original courts where they were filed for trial.
Denture Cream Poisoning Warnings Should Have Been Provided
Despite a growing body of evidence that their denture cream products were a likely source of zinc poisoning, GlaxoSmithKline and Proctor & Gamble, the manufacturers Super Poligrip and Fixodent denture cream respectively, downplayed the dangers, misled consumers and continued to sell their products without even warning consumers that zinc was an ingredient.
