RECENT NEWS

Suzuki GSX-R1000 Recall

American Suzuki Motorcycle Corporation has recently issued a recall of more than 26,000 2005 and 2006 GSX-R1000 model sport bikes. A safety defect in the motorcycle causes cracking and/or breaking in the frame’s front wheel/fork assembly, as well as cracking and/or breaking behind and below the sport bike’s steering neck. In the most severe situations, the Suzuki GSX-R1000 frame defect has caused the front steering mechanism to detach from the body of the bike during operation, causing the operator to completely lose control. However, even minor cracks or breaks in a motorcycle’s frame will interfere with the driver’s ability to handle or maneuver the motorcycle, and may result in a catastrophic—even deadly—crash.

PRODUCT LIABILITY UPDATE

Raptiva “Black Box” Warning

Raptiva, a drug commonly prescribed by doctors to treat psoriasis, has been voluntarily pulled from the market by its manufacturer, Genentech. This action comes on the heels of a “black box” warning issued by the FDA, that indicated Raptiva could cause life-threatening infections such as bacterial sepsis, viral meningitis, invasive fungal disease, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain infection. The use of Raptiva has also been shown to increase the risk of some cancers, such as lymphoma.

Raptiva is designed to be injected into patients with moderate to severe psoriasis once a week. It works by suppressing the immune system, which prevents certain cells that trigger psoriasis when activated from reaching the skin.
