Denture Cream Users Urged to be Tested for Zinc Posioning: a Denture Cream Warning Has Been Issued by RecallWarning.com
The use of some denture cream products including Fixodent and Poligrip may result in dangerously high levels of zinc in the blood, causing possibly irreversible damage to the nervous system.
WASHINGTON, DC, February 10, 2011 /Dental PR News/ -- Recallwarning.com, a leading independent medical watchdog group has issued a Denture Cream Warning for some versions of Fixodent and Poligrip that contain high levels of zinc.
The Departments of Neurology and Clinical Sciences at the University of Texas have found zinc poisoning in numerous patients who use large amounts of denture cream. Zinc poisoning has been proven to have severe and dangerous side effects, and can lead to a serious condition called neuropathy. Some patients experienced weakness in their hands and legs, poor balance, urinary incontinence and loss of awareness.
The use of these Denture Creams may cause unsafe high levels of zinc in the blood, leading to possibly irreversible damage to the nervous system. The cause is high amounts of the metal zinc in the denture creams, including such popular brands as Super PoliGrip and Fixodent.
The reason most users are completely unaware that these denture adhesive products can be dangerous is because there was no denture cream warning on the boxes or tubes. The Denture Cream manufacturers did not put the ingredients on the tubes, making it difficult for denture cream users to be aware of the high levels of zinc in the product.
Denture Cream Lawsuits Being Filed
Individuals who suffer from Denture Cream poisoning due to high levels of Zinc may be entitled to compensation for, suffering, lost wages, physical pain and medical expenses. Denture Cream lawsuits have been filed and/or settled with compensation paid by the makers of Poligrip and Fixodent.
Denture Cream users are urged to visit RecallWarning.com to learn more about the Denture Cream Warning and the symptoms of Denture Cream Poisoning.
