Lexapro Birth Defects May Qualify Mothers for Legal Action

A Lexapro birth defects lawsuit may provide legal recourse to women who took the drug during pregnancy and delivered children with cardiac, abdominal or skull defects. Reportedly, women who take certain SSRIs, such as Lexapro, during pregnancy may have a slightly increased risk of delivering children with birth defects. If you took this SSRI during pregnancy and gave birth to a child with birth defects, you may be able to file a claim seeking compensation for losses resulting from your child’s alleged Lexapro birth defects. To find out if you are eligible for a Lexapro lawsuit, visit http://www.classaction.org/lexapro.html and complete the form on the right for a no cost, no obligation review of your Lexapro birth defects claim. 

Reportedly, taking Lexapro or other SSRIs during pregnancy may increase the user’s risk of delivering a child with birth defects. In light of these allegations, the attorneys working with Class Action.org would like to hear from women who took the drug while pregnant and delivered children with any of the following birth defects: hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS); craniosynostosis; spina bifida; club foot; cardiac defects; tetralogy of fallot (TOF); transposition of the great arteries (TGA); coarctation of the aorta; ventricular septal defects (VSD); atrial septal defects (ASD); holes in the heart; and omphalocele. Potentially, women who allegedly bore children with Lexapro birth defects after taking the drug during pregnancy may be able to pursue a legal claim to seek compensation for medical bills and other damages.

There is a time limit for filing Lexapro birth defect lawsuits, and women who fail to take legal action with this window may be barred from ever seeking compensation for their child’s injuries, regardless of their severity. Find out if you can take legal action for your child’s alleged Lexapro birth defects by visiting Class Action.org today and completing the free case review form. The Lexapro birth defect attorneys working with the site are providing this consultation at no cost and remain committed to protecting the rights of mothers who took SSRIs while pregnant and delivered children with heart, skull and abdominal malformations.
