Parker Waichman Alonso LLP Files Suit Against the Manufacturers of Super PoliGrip(R) and Fixodent(R) on Behalf of a Woman Suffer

According to her complaint, Jennifer J. Cornett, 61, received dentures
approximately 9 years ago, and has used Super PoliGrip(R) and
Fixodent(R). Ms. Cornett stopped using the denture adhesive
creams after she was diagnosed with neuropathy attributed to excess zinc
and copper depletion attributable to Super PoliGrip(R) and
Fixodent(R). Her lawsuit alleges that Ms. Cornett now suffers
from profound and permanent neurological injuries, which have left her
unable to perform her normal, customary, and daily activities.

The lawsuit maintains that Super PoliGrip(R) and Fixodent(R)
contain a form of zinc, which is bonded to an unknown formulation. A
small amount of zinc is necessary for a balanced diet. However, being
exposed to an excessive amount of zinc can result in copper depletion
and serious negative adverse neurological effects. In August 2008, the
peer reviewed journal "Neurology" reported on four patients suffering
from neuropathy and other neurological symptoms typical of zinc
poisoning and copper depletion. It was determined that excess use of
denture cream could have been responsible for their symptoms.

The complaint further alleges that the defendants failed to warn about
their products' risks and failed to provide adequate warnings about the
zinc in Super PoliGrip(R) and Fixodent(R), or adequate
instructions to prevent deviation from accepted use. According to the
lawsuit, had the defendants properly disclosed the risks associated with
Super PoliGrip(R) and Fixodent(R), Ms. Cornett would
never have used the products. Ms. Cornett's lawsuit names
GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Super PoliGrip(R), and Procter
and Gamble Manufacturing Corp., the maker of Fixodent(R), as
well as their subsidiaries, as defendants.

This lawsuit is the latest of many filed by Parker Waichman Alonso LLP
on behalf of the victims of zinc-containing denture adhesive creams.

Ms. Cornett's lawsuit, along with dozens of others filed before it, has
been consolidated for centralized and coordinated pre-trial proceedings
in the Denture Cream Products Liability Litigation in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division,
before the Honorable Judge Cecilia Altonaga (MDL No. 2051). Andres F.
Alonso Esq., a partner with Parker Waichman Alonso LLP, was appointed
Co- Lead Counsel to the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee in the litigation
by Judge Altonaga in an order filed on July 13, 2009. On October 22,
2009, Mr. Alonso attended the most recent case management conference in
the Denture Cream Products Liability Litigation.
