Potential Lawsuit: Valsartan Cancer Risk Legal News and Lawsuit Information
The drug Valsartan (a generic version of Diovan), which is prescribed to treat high blood pressure and prevent heart failure, has been recalled worldwide after it was found to contain N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a known carcinogen. Valsartan contamination from a Chinese manufacturing plant may date back to 2012, potentially exposing many patients to Valsartan cancer risk, liver damage and tumors. It has been on the market for 15 years.
