Permanent Brain Injury to a Toddler – $2.6 Million Settlement
A 14-month-old child, suffered seizures and permanent brain injury as a result from being exposed to neurotoxins in a lotion made by a generic drug manufacturer.
What Happened
The child got exposed to the lotion as part of his treatment for a persistent rash on his stomach. The doctor diagnosed the child for scabies and prescribed a generic brand of scabicide lotion to be applied to the child’s body at bedtime.
The lotion, whose active ingredient was a pesticide that was a neurotoxin, did not have any warnings for pediatric use. The child’s mother used the product as instructed until the child began to experience seizures due to being exposed nightly to the neurotoxin.
Injuries from the Neurotoxin Exposure
Our client suffered seizures and sustained a permanent brain injury as a result of the generic drug. His family sued the drug manufacturer, and won a $2,600,000 settlement, which will be used to cover the boy’s medical expenses and living costs associated with his condition.
