  • Denture Cream Injury - Attorneys Helping those Injured by Defective Denture Cream

    More than 30 million people in the United States have dentures, and the vast majority of them use some sort of denture cream in conjunction with their dentures. Denture cream as a whole generates billions of dollars of revenue around the world every year, and this enormous market is one where companies have been attempting to gain market share for many years as well.

    Not all of these denture cream products have proven to be safe. Below you'll find an overview of one of these problems, and if you or someone you love has suffered from the serious side effects associated with these defective products, you need to contact the dangerous products lawyers at Parilman & Associates as soon as possible to schedule a free initial consultation.

    Denture Cream Industry Leaders and Product Information

    Of all the denture cream products available to consumers, two companies seem to be more prevalent than others, and they are Poligrip and Fixodent. These companies offer denture cream that's sold over the counter and is marketed as cost-effective, easy to use and very effective in helping keep dentures clean and properly functional for those who need them.

    Problems Arise

    Unfortunately, problems have begun to arise and more and more reports have surfaced regarding a link between these products and a serious side effect. Specifically, the side effect being reported more than any other is that of zinc poisoning, as zinc is one of the leading ingredients present in many different types of denture creams.

    Zinc poisoning is extremely dangerous for anyone who suffers from it, and it features the following symptoms:
    • Persistent weakness
    • Poor balance
    • Numbness
    • Tingling in hands and feet
    • Chronic pain
    • Burning sensation
    The most serious problem with zinc poisoning is that it can lead to a more serious problem known as neuropathy, which is considered a byproduct of zinc poisoning. Neuropathy typically occurs when a person suffers from copper depletion, which is also a result of zinc poisoning. Neuropathy is a nerve disorder that causes numbness and pain in the feet and hands.
