Georgia Denture Adhesive Lawsuit GA | Denture Cream Lawyer - Zinc Poisoning Symptoms

By Mark Zamora

There is a limited period of time in which to bring a claim against the makers of certain denture creams. This legally prescribed time limit is referred to as a 'statute of limitations'.

Chronic and excessive use of zinc-containing denture adhesives has been linked to permanently disabling and life-threatening injuries including:

• Hyperzincuria or Zinc Poisoning (abnormally high levels of zinc in the blood)
• Hypocupremia or Copper Depletion (abnormally low levels of copper in the blood)
• Neuropathy (nerve damage)

Signs and Symptoms of Neuropathy include:

• Loss of sensation, numbness or tingling in the extremities
• Unexplained weakness or pain in the extremities
• Loss of ability to move legs, feet, arms, or hands
• Poor balance and coordination, decrease in walking stride
• Abnormal blood pressure and heart rate

The time limit to file a case prevents a claim from being filed after the designated time has elapsed. If you have been diagnosed or suffered from denture cream zinc poisoning symptoms you may lose the right to bring a claim if your case is not filed before the statutory deadline. A denture cream lawyer can help you with your different legal options including the difference between a denture cream class action and an individual Georgia denture cream lawsuit.

There are several factors that affect the statutory deadlines for filing your Georgia Fixodent lawsuit or Georgia Poligrip lawsuit including:

• The state where the lawsuit is filed
• The type of injury
• When you are tested for zinc poisoning
• When you were diagnosed with neuropathy

Georgia Statute of Limitations
Ga. Code Ann. § 9-3-20 et seq.

Personal Injury
2 Years with discovery rule

Products Liability
2 Years with discovery rule
