Zicam Lawsuits and Settlements: How to Obtain Compensation

If you have suffered anosmia (complete loss of smell or ability to detect odor) from using Zicam Cold Remedy intranasal products, you may be able to obtain compensation from Zicam’s maker, Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. Zicam has been on the market since 1999, and is a popular homeopathic over-the-counter cold remedy product. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Zicam’s manufacturer have both received complaints of users experience permanent or long lasting loss of smell from Zicam. In June 2009, the FDA warned consumers to stop using Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel and Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs immediately. Matrixx Initiatives voluntarily withdrew the two products from the market.

Cold-suffers users may suffer a potentially adverse side effect from using Zicam: anosmia (complete loss of sense of smell) or hyposmia (reduced sense of smell). This adverse side effect is caused by the active ingredient in Zicam, zinc gluconate, which is known to damage or destroy olfactory nerves needed to detect odors. The FDA has received about 130 complaints from Zicam users and their physicians. Zicam’s manufacturer, Matrixx Initiatives, has also received hundreds of complaints of anosmia or hyposmia, which are currently under investigation.

If you have lost your ability to detect odor from using Zicam, you can obtain compensation or your nasal injury in a lawsuit.
