NADRICH & COHEN CLIENT IS AWARDED $10 MILLION IN SJS MOTRIN LAWSUIT IN PHILADELPHIA


Our client Brianna Maya of Tennessee suffered horrible side effects from Children's Motrin. Her Stevens Johnson Syndrome was so serious that it had blinded her in one eye. She developed Stevens Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome (TENS). The Brianna Maya case was tried this spring in hiladelphia. She is now 13 and has spent the last ten years having undergone many eye surgeries and has significant residual eye and lung infections which has developed into seizures from oxygen deprivation. Her doctors have had great difficulty in controlling her seizure onditions. Her lung capacity is now 50% and she has lost most of her skin and is partially blinded and has suffered brain damage.

When we tried the case the issue was adequate warning. Our lawyers
convinced the jury that the manufacturers of Children's Motrin, McNeill Labratories, did not adequately warn users of the significant risks of Stevens Johnson Syndrome.

    Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), which is an extremely severe type of SJS, are rare and potentially fatal skin conditions. Either condition may be caused by infections or the use of certain medications, such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Also known as Erythema Multiforme, SJS may also be caused by an allergic reaction to some medications.

    In most cases of SJS and TENS the victims are adults, and it has been estimated that 1 out of 5 victims suffering from SJS are under the age of twenty. Some children have suffered seriously painful and devastating effects of SJS as the result of reactions to Children's Motrin. Children's Motrin, which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is used to alleviate pain and reduce fevers in sick children between the ages of two and eleven. The over-the-counter medication comes in liquid and tablet forms, and a variety of colors and flavors.

    Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) have similar symptoms, which include skin peeling and skin rashes on various parts of the body which resemble severe burns; although the most common indicators that an individual may have either of these conditions are lesions on the genitals, body, and mouth. In addition to skin diseases, SJS may result in a variety of eye and eyelid disorders, including eye lesions, swelling of the eye, eye infections, and discharge coming from the eye. In extreme SJS cases where the eyes are affected, victims may become blind.

    The mortality rate for persons suffering with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is between 25-80%. Some of the factors that determine a person's likelihood of survival include the severity of the disorder and the amount of skin that the victim looses. If a person with Stevens Johnson Syndrome has lesions that are exposed and become infected, they have a much higher chance of death.
