According to Fox 17, additional complaint details reveal that the man must now seek routine medical attention in addition to having to perform regular self-exams after a melanoma diagnosis he attributes to his using the drug.

He alleges the companies failed to adhere to the tenets set forth in the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act of 1977, and that they also fraudulently concealed and misrepresented the drugs as products that were safe for use. The lawsuit also seeks to hold the companies accountable for breach of implied and express warranty, failure to warn, negligence and negligence.
