In a recent settlement agreement with the United States Department of Justice, 3M agreed to pay $9.1 million to resolve allegations that they knowingly sold defective earplugs to the U.S. military. These settlement proceeds will not be distributed to military personnel.

Valsartan Blood Pressure Lawsuit
Common Blood Pressure Medication Linked to Cancer
Valsartan, a common prescription drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure, was recalled after the product was linked to the development of various forms of cancer. If you or a loved one received a cancer diagnosis after taking Valsartan you may be entitled to significant damages without ever going to court.
For many years,Valsartan, and its generic successors, was a widely prescribed drug used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a worldwide recall involving medications containing Valsartan after studies showed that it was potentially tainted with a cancer-causing agent known as NDMA.
NDMA, short for N-Nitrosodimethylamine, is classified as “a probable human carcinogen” that was once used as an ingredient in rocket fuel and is currently actually used to create cancer in rats for cancer research. In fact, NDMA is not currently produced in pure form or commercially used in the United States, except for research purposes. Valsartan originally came on the market in 1996 under the brand name Diovan. It was sold by more than 30 different companies under a variety of generic names.
Considered a “maintenance drug”, Valsartan was often taken daily on a long-term basis. This sort of use is exactly the type of exposure that can cause cancer. NDMA exposure is linked to several different types of cancers such as:
- Liver Cancer
- Gastric Cancer
- Colorectal Cancer
- Kidney Cancer
- Bladder Cancer
- Stomach Cancer
- Small Intestine Cancer
Though Valsartan products were available to anyone with high blood pressure, VA Hospitals prescribed Valsartan at a very high rate, possibly affecting our vets with tainted Valsartan.
