PROMETHAZINE LAWSUIT UPDATE: Lawsuits have been filed against Wyeth alleging intravenous administration of Phenergan, a promethazine product, caused gangrene, resulting in amputation. Our law firm is investigating these cases, and our lawyers have recovered over 20 million dollars for people injured by medical products.
FDA is requiring a Boxed Warning for promethazine hydrochloride injection products to better communicate the risks of severe tissue injury, including gangrene, associated with intravenous administration of promethazine, which is marketed under the brand name Phenergan (Wyeth and Baxter).
Promethazine-associated gangrene has led to amputations in several patients, according to the FDA and lawsuits filed in state courts.
The Boxed Warning will remind practitioners that due to the risks of intravenous injection, the preferred route of administration is deep intramuscular injection and that subcutaneous injection (intravenous administration) is contraindicated.
NOTE: A promethazine lawsuit could involve both product liability and medical malpractice claims.
Promethazine Lawsuit: Amputation Victim Compensation
If you hire Pritzker Olsen law firm, our lawyers will immediately investigate your case, determine what parties are liable (who can be sued for money to compensate you) and learn about you and how your amputation has affected your life. The goals are to get you the most money possible and to get you the justice you deserve.
Compensation for amputation victims can include any of the following:
- Medical expenses

Zicam Lawsuit
Several lawsuits have been filed alleging Zicam caused loss of smell (anosmia) and taste, and our lawyers are reviewing potential claims. We are gathering information about Zicam smell loss. Read more about Zicam: Zicam class action lawsuit, warning letter from the FDA to Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. regarding Zicam Cold Remedy nasal spray and gel swabs, Zicam recall.
After only one use of a Zicam Cold Remedy product, Bonnie Blodgett lost her sense of smell. A gradening writer and foodie, her life was drastically changed. She recently published Remembering Smell: A Memoir of Losing--and Discovering--the Primal Sense in which she chronicals her experience with losing her sense of smell and then slowly getting it back again.
Bonnie's experience with Zicam is similar to many of our other clients. They experienced a burning sensation during the first use of a Zicam product and then lost their sense of smell (anosmia). Most of them were not as fortunate as Bonnie and have not regained their sense of smell.
