The attorneys at Morgan & Morgan (ForThePeople.com) are currently investigating claims of zinc poisoning and neuropathy caused by denture cream use.
Zinc is an ingredient in several popular denture cream brands, including Poligrip and Fixodent. While a small amount of zinc is necessary for a healthy and balanced diet, in excess it can result in copper depletion and a nerve disorder known as neuropathy. A study published last year in the medical journal Neurology linked "chronic and excessive" use of denture creams, including Super Poligrip and Fixodent, to high zinc levels and neurological problems.
Symptoms of zinc poisoning that denture cream users should be aware of include poor balance, tingling sensation, and pain in the extremities. Weakness, numbness, and loss of sensation can also be signs of toxic zinc levels. Denture cream users who experience these symptoms should speak to a doctor as soon as possible in order to ensure that they receive the proper testing and treatment.
A number of lawsuits have already been filed against GlaxoSmithKline (manufacturer of PoliGrip) and Proctor & Gamble (manufacturer of Fixodent) on behalf of consumers nationwide who have suffered from zinc poisoning and neuropathy due to denture cream use. Morgan & Morgan’s denture cream attorneys are committed to holding denture cream manufacturers accountable for their negligence and helping victims of zinc poisoning obtain fair compensation for their injuries.
If you use a denture adhesive cream that contains zinc, such as Poligrip or Fixodent, you may be at risk for zinc poisoning.
