Plaintiff Seeking Damages After Melanoma Diagnosis
A man who allegedly developed an aggressive form of skin cancer as a result of taking Viagra is now seeking damages from Pfizer Inc., the maker of the erectile dysfunction drug. The man’s complaint states that he began taking Viagra in 2011 and was later diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2014. He is requesting damages of at least $50,000, compensation to address his legal costs and a jury trial, according to The Madison Record.
The lawsuit contends that Pfizer, which is responsible for the design, production and distribution of Viagra, was negligent in several aspects of creating and selling its drug. The complaint accuses the company of failing to complete a sufficient review of reports of unusual or adverse patient events involving Viagra. The plaintiff also claims that, through deceit or misrepresentation, Pfizer deliberately failed to make plaintiffs aware of the serious risks associated with its drug.
