HOW TO MAKE A CASE

To make a case against the Ephedra manufacturers, all you have to do is call Brown & Crouppen. We’ll take charge and start working aggressively to find justice for you and your family.

Manufacturers of Ephedra products chose to ignore the inherent dangers of the herb, and failed to let consumers know about the health risks. The attorneys at Brown & Crouppen know how to recover compensation from companies who manufacture Ephedra products. The legal basis of these suits is the manufacturers’ failure to properly warn consumers of the dangers of the herb, along with their negligent misrepresentations about the products.

Ephedra Success Stories

Defective Product Laws
Consumers may be compensated for injuries caused by defective products. Diet supplement products can be deemed "defective" as a result of improper design, failure to warn consumers of potential injury risks, or errors that occur during the manufacturing process. Some of the Ephedrine diet supplement products on the market are defective. The most common problem is that the Ephedrine product was negligently designed. The Ephedrine product can be deemed negligently designed if the manufacturer instructs the consumer to take an excessive dose of Ephedrine, or mixes Ephedrine with other stimulants.

Deceptive Marketing Laws
Injured consumers can also recover damages from companies who make fraudulent claims or negligent misrepresentations about their diet supplement products that entice consumers to take the product.
Many manufacturers of Ephedrine diet supplements fail to warn consumers of potential risks of injury that can be caused by Ephedrine. In fact, some companies that manufacture and distribute Ephedrine diet supplement products have made efforts to conceal the true identity of the ingredients, as well as some of the risks of the product.

Here is what you should consider when deciding to come forward with an Ephedra lawsuit:

• Seek Compensation from the Ephedra IndustryThe Ephedra industry is not innocent. They knew about the dangers of the herb but continued to sell it and falsely market their products. Their profits were built on the health of consumers who had no idea Ephedra could harm them. It is only fair that they pay for medical treatment for the people they hurt.

• Look for a Law Firm with ExperienceThe Ephedra companies will not readily hand over your compensation. If you or a family member has been injured by a product containing Ephedra, you should hire an experienced attorney immediately. Use a lawyer with experience handling Ephedra cases and one that represents individuals, not corporations. Make sure your lawyer is savvy enough to know to handle your case individually. Don't let him or her lump it in with other cases as part of a group. You will almost always do better filing suit as an individual.

• Hire an Attorney on a Contingency Basis Brown and Crouppen will not cost you money upfront. Our policy in Ephedra cases, as well as our other injury cases, is that we never charge you any “in advance” legal fee. The only way you ever pay any legal fees or expenses is at the conclusion of your case and then only out of the money we were able to recover for you. If we are unsuccessful and no money is collected then any costs we incurred is our expense and of course you owe us nothing for our time. We believe we should make money only after we make you money. That’s why it doesn’t cost you any money in advance to get a lawyer.

• There May be a Time Limit on Your Ephedra Case Unfortunately, there are definite time limits in taking care of your case. These time limits are called statutes of limitations and if you wait past the time set out in the statute, your case is over, forever, regardless if you have gotten any money or not. Don’t let this happen to you. Call Brown and Crouppen now.
