This site is not authorized by the manufacturers of Fen Phen and is not the official site of AHP (Wyeth) or the class action settlement.

Hackard & Holt is accepting new cases if you have been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension or require heart valve surgery.

Hackard & Holt is also accepting new cases if you filed the Orange Form to opt out of the class action by March 30, 2000, and have proof of your use of Fen Phen.

Anecdotal evidence indicates that it is only recently that many former fen phen (fen-phen) users have come to terms with the causes of current physical impairment. This realization often comes about after their physician's review of their echocardiograms.

While the August 1996 New England Journal of Medicine report on "Appetite Suppressants and the Risk of Pulmonary Hypertension" was widely reported at the time, many fen phen (fen-phen) users were not then symptomatic or diagnosed. Now four years later, many former users need heart valve surgery and / or have been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension.

Valvular dysfunction and blood regurgitation are the injuries associated with fen phen (fen-phen) related injury. Again, some former users are just now being diagnosed with these disorders.

Victims of fen phen (fen-phen) have filed scores of lawsuits around the United States in both state and federal courts. We represent dozens of seriously injured people and we have been fully prosecuting these cases within the judicial confines allowed in the various state and federal coordinated litigation.

While statutes of limitation might impact later accepted cases, we are still reviewing new pulmonary hypertension and heart valve surgery cases and would be happy to speak with you. Please use our contact e-mail address or call us on our toll-free telephone number.

American Home Products' agreement to settle will not bind all those injured by fen-phen. While the American Home Chairman and Chief Executive John Stafford called the diet drug controversy a "distraction," this "distraction" will continue to impact the lives of thousands of former fen-phen users and their families. It is not wise for those who have pulmonary hypertension or heart valve surgery to be unrepresented.

If you have moderate to severe heart valve injuries or Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, contact us today for further information as to your rights.
