A 2007 study published by The New England Journal of Medicine found that pregnant women who took Zoloft or other SSRI antidepressants containing sertraline had twice the risk of having a newborn with congenital heart and lung defects, such as persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN), and other malformations and birth defects, such as cleft lip and clubfoot. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) published a Public Health Advisory in 2006 and produced this news video warning patients and physicians of serious, life-threatening birth defects linked to SSRI antidepressants. 

Defective drug attorneys considering a potential lawsuit allege that maker Pfizer failed to adequately warn of the serious side effects of taking Zoloft while pregnant. If you or someone you know has been affected by taking Zoloft during pregnancy, please contact one of our class action attorneys to discuss your legal options.

Investigation has found that Consolidated Smart Systems, a third-party dealer of DirecTV that contracts with multiple dwelling units (e.g., apartment buildings), takes advantage of residents who are “stuck” with Consolidated by: (a) charging for services that DirecTV advertises as free (for instance, charging for installation of DirecTV even though DirecTV advertises free installation), (b) charging unauthorized fees without adequate disclosure, and (c) continuing to charge for services even after residents have moved out of the apartment building.   Residents of these multiple dwelling units are, therefore, forced to pay Consolidated in addition to paying DirecTV for DirecTV’s services. 

If you or someone you know has been charged by Consolidated for unauthorized fees, contact us to discuss your legal options.

Investigation has found that when an individual places an international phone call using the Skype mobile app on a Verizon data-capable phone, such as the Droid, the call will sometimes be logged as a Verizon outgoing call and the individual will be charged Verizon’s per-minute rates for international calls. The difference in rates per minute is significant because an international call made with Skype credit can cost 2 cents per minute, but can cost more than $1.50 per minute with Verizon.

If you or someone you know has been charged by Verizon for outbound international calls made with the Skype mobile app using Skype purchased credit, contact us to discuss your legal options.
