Pursue Damages with Our St. Louis Product Liability Lawyers
In recent years, negligent companies have been marketing Testosterone Replacement Therapy as a safe way to increase a man’s testosterone levels. Testosterone is a hormone that helps men retain their bone density, muscle strength and mass, fat distribution, red blood cell production, facial and body hair, sex drive, and sperm production. As men grow older, their testosterone levels naturally start to decrease, resulting in reduced energy, a lower libido, and other health complications. If a person’s body begins producing abnormally low amounts of testosterone, it can even lead to a condition called hypogonadism.
Due to successful marketing campaigns, countless Americans have been tempted to try Testosterone Replacement Therapy even if they don’t suffer from hypogonadism or other serious testosterone-related medical conditions. However, recent studies conducted by health organizations and medical journals have proven that these products can cause dangerous medical complications including strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots.
Contact the St. Louis product liability attorneys at Simon Law if you’ve experienced any of these side-effects after using a Testosterone Replacement Therapy option. We can evaluate your case, explain your legal options, and represent your interests if you decide to file a claim against a negligent company. With our help, you can recover compensation that facilitates your recovery and accounts for your injury-related expenses.
