Darvocet, Darvon Recall Issued Due to Heart Problem Risk, Warns Class Action.org

A Darvocet and Darvon recall has been issued after research linked the prescription pain medication to serious or potentially fatal heart rhythm abnormalities. The Darvocet and Darvon recall was voluntarily issued by the drug’s manufacturer, Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc., on Nov. 19, 2010 at the request of the FDA. If you or a loved one has suffered from Darvon or Darvocet heart problems, such as heart arrhythmia, cardiac arrest or heart attack, you may be entitled to financial compensation in light of the Darvon and Darvocet recall.

New information linking the active ingredient propoxyphene to heart rhythm abnormalities prompted the FDA to seek a Darvocet and Darvon recall. Specifically, the information revealed that propoxyphene, even when taken in recommended dosages, can significantly alter the heart’s electrical activity. These changes, which can be read by an electrocardiogram, may put the patient at risk for serious heart rhythm abnormalities, which have been associated with sudden death. Due to this new information regarding potential Darvon and Darvocet heart problems, along with other data, the FDA concluded that the drug’s pain-relieving benefits no longer outweighed its risks.  

If a loved one has suffered a sudden cardiac death while taking Darvon, Darvocet or the generic propoxyphene, you may be able to file a Darvon lawsuit on their behalf. Similarly, if you have suffered from a Darvon heart attack or other cardiac problems, you may also be able to file a claim for medical expenses and other damages.
