Vioxx Recalled Due to Heart Attack and Stroke Risk

September 30, 2004

The international prescription drug company Merck announced the recall of its arthritis and pain medication Vioxx because of evidence of an increased risk of heart attack and stroke in long-term users.

Vioxx (sold in some countries under the name Ceoxx) has been prescribed to over two million patients worldwide.

Persons who have suffered serious injuries after being prescribed Vioxx should visit www.vioxxlegalresources.com to learn about their legal rights and contact a Lieff Cabraser attorney.
