Another reason people want to sue the Makers of Vioxx - Merck. Refunds for prescriptions.

According to ConsumerAffairs.com, October 13, 2004, "A group of state attorneys general aren't happy with Merck's procedure for giving refunds for consumers who've been using Vioxx, the popular painkiller that was withdrawn from the market nearly two weeks ago because it increases the risk of heart attack and stroke."

The attorneys general complain that:

Merck has not given "adequate notice" of the recall program.
That a person needs to send in the unused pills, which is a burden.
That the people having to send in for the refund are often elderly and less mobile, making returning the product difficult
Since the pill container is bulky, it may require a trip to the post office, which might be difficult for an elderly person with severe arthritis
Many consumers were advised by their doctors to destroy unused portions of Vioxx.
Only pharmacy receipts were being accepted

According to a letter from the State Attorney Generals, "Merck should provide a refund to all consumers who can provide reasonable proof of purchase of Vioxx in a quantity that makes it likely the consumer possessed unused Vioxx on September 30, 2004."

Merck said, it will be "working cooperatively" with the attorneys general to "ensure that patients have access to both the information and the resources they need to ensure that they can easily receive a refund for their unused Vioxx."

We are not currently accepting new Vioxx cases. You should consult another attorney for an opinion on your case.
