Diet Pills Class Action
Introduction
This class action was brought against Servier Canada Inc., and a group of related companies who manufactured and distributed the weight loss drugs Ponderal (fenfluramine) and Redux (dexfenfluramine).
The drugs have been linked to primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and heart valve disease.
