Denture Cream Neuropathy

If you wear dentures and have experienced numbness, tingling or pain in your legs and arms, you might be suffering from denture cream neuropathy. This type of neuropathy has been seen in people who have been exposed to excessive amounts of zinc-containing denture cream. The denture cream neuropathy lawyers at our firm are currently offering free consultations to people who have been poisoned by the zinc in these products.

More than 35 million Americans use denture creams, such as Poligrip and Fixodent, to keep their dentures in place. If you are one of them, you might be surprised that doing so could be putting you at risk of developing serious health problems. That’s because – despite repeated pleas from consumer advocacy groups – the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) does not require manufacturers to warn denture cream users about the potential dangers of these products.

Despite the FDA’s failure to act, the manufacturers of Poligrip, Fixodent and other denture creams still have a duty to warn consumers of their risks. While these companies are very aware that denture creams can cause zinc poisoning, they still have not provided adequate warnings. The denture cream neuropathy lawyers at our firm believe the victims of this negligence are entitled to compensation for their injuries.
