GlaxoSmithKline, the drug maker, has announced it plans to remove zinc from its denture cream products that include Poligrip and Super Poligrip. The reason? Some studies have been a link between denture adhesives that contain zinc and neurological problems. The link has led to a class-action lawsuit filed in the Southern District of Florida representing 75 cases. The symptoms of zinc poisoning can include weakness and numbness, poor balance and pain in the extremities. Another popular brand made by Proctor & Gamble, Fixodent, which also contains zinc, is also the subject of a lawsuit. GSK will make a zinc-free version of its denture cream. If you feel you have experienced these symptoms, you need to seek medical care as soon as possible to have your condition identified. A Florida products liability attorney can give you a free case evaluation and help you protect your rights. #
