Denture Creams Linked to Health Problems
People who regularly use denture cream, including Fixodent, PoliGrip and Super PoliGrip adhesives might be surprised to learn that the products have been linked to a risk of health problems including neurological issues. In fact, a study published in the journal Neurology, in 2008, has found a link between overuse of denture creams and a risk of zinc toxicity. That has prompted lawsuits against the makers of denture creams, alleging consumers should have been warned about the risks of these products.
Unfortunately, people may have been suffering zinc toxicity for a while and not ever linked it to their denture cream.
Victims of these harmful denture creams would be well advised to contact a defective product lawyer or a medical malpractice lawyer.
