Class Action Lawsuit Following Ethex Recall of Morphine and Other Drugs
A stockholder class action lawsuit has been filed against KV Pharmaceutical Company, the parent company of Ethex Corp., which has issued a series of recalls this year as a result of oversized tablets of morphine and other generic drugs.
The KV Pharmaceutical class action lawsuit was filed on December 2, 2008, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri on behalf of investors who purchased Class A Common Stock (NYSE: KV-A), Class B Common Stock (NYSE: KV-B) and 7% cumulative convertible Preferred Stock (Symbol: KVPHP) between February 15, 2008 and November 12, 2008.
Over 60% of the revenues for KV Pharmaceuticals come from Ethex, their generic drug making subsidiary.

Millions of Philips CPAP Machines Recalled
Philips DreamStation, CPAP and BiPAP machines sold in recent years may pose a risk of cancer, lung damage and other injuries.
Learn MoreThis year, a series of Ethex drug recalls have been issued due to manufacturing problems which allowed double strength tablets to be commercially released.
On June 10, 2008, one lot of 60 mg Morphine Sulfate Extended Release tablets were recalled when it was found that some of the pills sold since April 2008 were of double thickness and contained twice the appropriate amount of morphine. This could have led to a fatal morphine overdose. On June 16, 2008, another 64 lots were added to this morphine recall.
In October 2008, Ethex issued a recall for Dextroamphetamine Sulfate 5 mg tablets after discovering that three lots could contain tablets that were oversized.
In November 2008, another major Ethex recall was issued involving several different generic drugs that also could have contained up to double strength tablets, including Morphine Sulfate Extended Release Tablets (15mg), Isosorbide Mononitrate Extended Release Tablets (30mg and 60mg), Propafenone HCI Tablets (150mg, 225mg and 300mg), Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release Tablets (15mg and 30mg) and Dextroamphetamine Sulfate Tablets (10mg).
The investor class action lawsuit alleges that KV Pharmaceutical made false and misleading statements about their compliance with FDA regulations regarding the manufacture and marketing of generic drugs and failed to disclose that their manufacturing facilities were in disarray, resulting in the sale of unsafe drugs that may contain more than the intended levels of the active drug.
KV Pharmaceutical and Ethex Corporation also face potential liability from product liability lawsuits being pursued by users who suffered morphine overdose or other injuries caused by the double strength tablets that were sold.

But I do believe this all was from the moraphie 60 mg and the 30 mg. Tablets she was getting I was on them as well but when I took them I would find myself nodding at stop lights and it was so bad I had my doctor's cut me down to 30 ext release I still don't them to be clogging me up I've have gained 40 LS in the last four years and been to the gasterolgist to be flushed out I still feel all block up and I'm on stool softener and I get to where that don't even work at times I go days without going and then I have to force myself this is not good and I know it is the coating n the meds and also I feel more sedated on these than normal I've been on them since I've been on disability since 2004 now it is 2017 something needs to be done or I'm going to end up like my wife . please help me these drugs are bad but they have me strung out on them I try to stop it the pain it is so back can't get anything that will stop the pain from my injuries I sustained at work !

I will have to go threw this the rest of my life .Once you get on this medication your never going to get off of it. No matter what you do you always come back to it then it just sticks to you intestinal walls forever and then your mood goes from happy to sad to depressed to got to keep moving then trying to get along with most people you might of just throw that out the window because your mood is never the same one minute your happy the next minute you just want to snap someone or just drive off the highest edge of the mountain. I blame it on this meds before all my surgeries i had I was a great person everybody loves me now I have no friends unless it is online now they can't see me or how long it takes me to settle down to write something or if i can settle down long enough to get along with my computer. Thank you Randell

If anyone has information please email me so I can know if there's something I can do. His doctor at the time didn't tell us what side effects he would have if any. We had no clue he would be like this health wise.

This is a dangerous drug, especially for the elderly.

Three days later I was back at the ER with stomach pain so bad, I can compare it to labor. They then thought that I had appendicitis so I had a CT scan, the second in three days, and bloodwork run. It all came back that I had high LIPASE levels, so they admitted me to the hospital for two days. I ended up with swollen lymph nodes in my stomach and pancreatitis. THey said that it was from taking Kadian and I was to stop immediately. The day after I was released from the hospital, I was back again for the same reason, massive stomach pain. I was given yet another IV, meds for pain, an antiinflammatory, and sent home. I was never so sick of seeing an ER. I am thankful that I got to see my kids again, and things didn't get too out of control.

He stopped taking them and recovered from the symptoms of the drug. His cardiologist made him go pack on the Metoprolol. Within a matter of a few weeks, he suffered a major heart attack and died at age 59 while driving home from work. I have been reassured by KV that "following the recall, testing of all in-house Metoprolol Succinate and returned Metoprolol Succinate was conducted, and that the testing resulted in no oversized tablets being found." Well, I'm not totally sure that I believe this pharmaceutical giant...

She ended up dying anyway from an infection she got while in the hospital. She wouldn't have been there in the first place if it wasn't for the bad pills. A month or so after she died, we got the letter from CVS about the pills. We are trying to figure out what law firms are working on the class action suit and haven't had any luck with the few I have contacted. They didn't know who was working on it either. Anyone out there know any of the law firms working on this? Thank you.

I am reading all of these comments and crying because some of the stories are the exact same as mine. My best friend int the world, my father died in his sleep on January 14, 2008. In the summer I received a letter from CVS stating that he had a prescription for Ethex Morphine... This is SO horrible... My heart goes out to everyone that is suffering from this!

I was on Toprol XL and when I was switched to metoprolol I had very serious side effects. I had constant headaches, was weak and tired all the time and after nearly fainting twice I spent a day in the emergency room and had to wear a heart monitor for 3 weeks. No heart problems were discovered and then I heard about the recall of metoprolol. Since going back on Toprol XL I have had no problems.

I have been through alot and can handle the worst of things. Because fortunately I did not have long or permanent damage, including dying. There is nothing I can do. It is very frustrating putting your life into drug companies and having you life in jeopardy. It was a very frightening experience. But unfortunately the drug company will not be held liable in my case.

Yes, Ethex has a problem but it's only for certain drugs and no one needs to panic except those specifically affected. I work for a wholesaler drug distribution center and we care about what drugs we send on to consumers. We pull the items off the shelf immediately when there is a recall. You might have to pay more for the brand names in the meantime because Mallinkrodt, the leader in generics has put a limit on these items due to the recall from Ethex. That is why you can't get what you want from the pharmacies or hospitals. You can ask your pharmacy for the brand name in the meantime.

I began taking the “recalled drug” in early Sept 2008 and by the end of Sept 2008 I had made an appointment to see my Dr. and told her that I must be having a nervous breakdown. I could not concentrate, I was unable to perform my duties and I asked if she would please draft and sign a release for me to be off work for a minimum of 3 weeks. I was unable to function and continued to have several panic attacks with no ability to reduce to headaches and sweats. I tried everything to keep it together and nothing was working. I was in fear of losing my job and after being off two weeks and 3 days; I went back to my doctor and asked if I could return to work, it was ok'd by my Dr.. And I did go back to work, but I also was given a sedative which would help keep me calm and reduce the stress and anxiety I was unable to control. I lost at least 3 months of myself not to mention that one evening on my way home from work, I actually pulled off the expressway thinking I was having a heart attach - I took a nitro (which just increased the problem). I was trying to decide whether to call "911" or hope that the pain and discomfort would just pass. During this time , I had several people comment on my changing behavior and experienced first hand my inability to function normally and most importantly I had several people who were trying to find me other employment because they didn't believe I was going to be able to return to my regular work. I truly thought I must be having a nervous breakdown but my heart continued to "FLOP" like a fish out of water. When, I was notified that I was taking a drug which was being recalled; I realized that this was perhaps a "drug interaction/overdose" which almost cost me my job, my health and absolutely "me" for over several months. I'm only 52 years old and have been taking an oral nitro for 13 years - BUT I have never experienced anything like this before. I thought I was professionally done, I thought I was going to need help monitoring my behavior and I thought I may never be able to work again. Now, since I have stopped taking the recalled medication, I am almost back to being myself and I am well on my way to being back on my "game" at work. I almost lost everything and I believe there should be consequences for releasing a drug that not only was not safe, but could have caused my death. I'm think I'm back, but I absolutely believe they should be held accountable.

I have been taking propafenone for 8 years without problems. My condition being treated is atrialfibrilation. Suddenly in late summer I started having an unexplained series of heart arythmias. I was in the hospital for treatment to regulate may heart beat shortly after my refill.. The irregular heart beat made sense when I was notified I was taking faulty medication.

i was taking the higher dosage of morphine sulfate . i was getting horrible stomach problems ,headaches shaky with high racing heart rate,not to mention i've been on these for many years and i have been regulating them as to keep my tolerance down so that they work for me . i was having withdrawal symptoms for weeks after going back to my regular dose.
