Local couple files Zicam suit
-STL Today
06/27/2009 - ST. LOUIS – A Madison County couple has sued the makers of the cold remedy Zicam, claiming that parent company Matrixx Initiatives continued selling Zicam after consumers complained that it robbed them of their sense of smell.
Floyd and Jean Fessler filed the suit against Zicam, Matrixx Initiatives and others Thursday in federal court in East St. Louis, saying that the company never investigated or studied those complaints.
The suit follows a Food and Drug Administration warning June 16 that said that the agency has received more than 130 reports of users of Zicam nasal swabs and nasal gel who lost their sense of smell.
The company says that they have voluntarily withdrawn the product from the shelves, although they believe the products to be safe.
The suit seeks millions in damages and class action status from the courts. If you or a loved one have suffered loss of smell or taste as a result of Zicam Cold Remedy use you may be entitled to compensation.
