On September 15, 1997 the FDA asked American Home Products (now Wyeth), the manufacturer or fenfluramine (Pondimin) and dexfenfluramine (Redux) to voluntarily remove these drugs from the market. These anti-obesity drugs were prescribed by themselves or in combination with phentermine for weight loss. "Fen-Phen" refers to the use in combination of fenfluramine and phentermine.

The FDA decision to remove the drugs came after researchers at the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation reported 24 cases of rare valvular disease know as Primary Pulmonary Hypertension or PPH in women who took the "fen-phen" combination therapy. Subsequently, FDA received 66 additional reports of heart valve disease associated mainly with "fen-phen." There were also reports of cases seen in patients taking only fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine.

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension can take years to develop. If you or a loved on took Fen Phen and was diagnosed with PPH you may have valuable legal rights, please complete the case inquiry form of the right side of this page for a free consultation.

Re: Copy of Check From Fund Adm.

I got the copy yesterday and they did the same thing am I to understand that they have already sent the check to my attorneys?I wonder if they sent it immediately after the 8th deadline did they overnight it?If that is the case then they have already had it about a week they are to keep it ten working days which hopefully means around the 27th am I understanding right? And yes  Cinnamon I would like to have that amount you were talking about too,but we know better don't we?

Final Distribution Check Clarification
Since the May 8, 2008 mailing of the "Final" Distribution Checks, we have been receiving numerous telephone calls concerning the Grid Payment check stub copy mailed to represented Class Members.

The check amount on the bottom of the stub of the "non negotiable remittance information only" copy was a total of all of the numbers on the stub and did not agree with the amount on the check. The check amount printed on the bottom of the stub should have been the "Net Distribution" amount listed on the top portion of the stub. The actual check was issued for the correct amount and the check copy lists the correct amount.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I never received a copy of the check--hope it did not get lost and someone else open the thing and now knows I have that money.
