Avandia Lawsuit Filed in Dallas Federal Court Against GlaxoSmithKline

A Dallas man died of a heart attack on May 21, 2007, the very same day that an article in the New England Journal of Medicine exposed the heart attack risks related to Avandia, according the the Southeast Texas Record.

Lany Stanford, a type 2 diabetic, took the popular diabetes drug to help regulate his insulin. According to the Record, Stanford's family doesn't believe it was a coincidence that he died the same day the study was published.

Family members have filed a wrongful death suit against the maker of Avandia, GlaxoSmithKline. The are alleging that the pharmaceutical giant "unfairly" convinced the Food and Drug Administration to approve Avandia, and then went on a "marketing assault" with a drug GSK officials knew was harmful.
