CHICAGO (CN) - Abbott Laboratories' blockbuster arthritis drug Humira gave a woman cancer, she claims in Cook County Court.
Carolyn and Eric Shaw sued Abbott Laboratories for product liability, product defects, failure to warn, misrepresentation, negligence, breach of warranty and loss of consortium.
"Plaintiff Carolyn Shaw was prescribed Abbott's blockbuster arthritis drug 'Humira' and received bi-monthly injections from October 2008 to August 2010 when she was diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkin's follicular lymphoma. She underwent surgery and chemotherapy treatment, and luckily her cancer went into remission. Unfortunately, she will have to undergo treatments every five months for the rest of her life to ensure the cancer will not return," the complaint states.
