Clarifications on Some Denture Cream Issues
Since warnings against dangers of denture cream products are now very well publicized, a lot of of people are also filing lawsuits to get a denture cream settlement. One of the most affected about this issue is Procter and Gamble. Things have become much worse for this company after it was found out that their past employee, Dr.Kenneth Shay was found out to have hampered the publication of a study that shows how dangerous denture creams are which could have lessen the casualties of the product.
Recently, through ABC News it was found out that Dr. Shay was asked to review a paper concerning the dangers of denture creams. As he reviewed this paper, he committed extreme violations by not disclosing that he is a paid P&G employee by the time he reviewed the paper and by sharing it with some people from the P&G Company. With this, To fact-check my revisions, I shared it with a colleague at P&G. I said, “Don’t share this around, but I’m interested in if the following facts are true are not.” There was no sense of “Squash this” or anything. It was entirely my way of trying to make sure my review was accurate.”, Dr. Shay gave this as a statement. Furthermore, there are still a lot of questions as to how this would affect the case and the violations that were committed by the company itself. Also, debate surrounding whether P&G can be held liable for nerve damage suffered by Fixodent users are issues that include whether the company provided sufficient warning of the oral adhesive’s health risks, or if it provided clear indication of how much Fixodent to use. By June 2011, people can have a clear view as to how this case would progress considering that a bellwether trial will happen.
