Lexapro Birth Defects

Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman represents families across the nation whose children were born with birth defects to mothers who took Lexapro during pregnancy. We are handling Lexapro birth defect cases ranging from cleft lip to life-threatening congenital heart defects and, in some cases, the children have been required to receive full heart transplants.

As a pharmaceutical drug product liability law firm, we have represented thousands of victims of drug-induced injury and death. The firm has been representing victims of harmful drugs for more than 20 years.

Our Lexapro birth defect legal team has more experience handling antidepressant birth defect cases than any other firm in the country. We are presently litigating dozens of Lexapro cases. Through our litigation and consultation with medical experts, we are establishing the link between Lexapro and the following congenital defects and/or conditions:

• Abdominal Birth Defects / Omphalocele
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Anal atresia (complete or partial closure of the anus)
• Cardiac (heart) defects
• Cleft lip and cleft palate
• Clubfoot (one or both feet turn downward and inward)
• Craniosynostosis (skull defect)
• Limb Defects
• Neural-tube defects (brain and spinal cord, spina bifida)
• PPHN (Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn)
  

While representing our clients, we dig deep into drug company files to discover the truth about what the company knew about the drug’s risks, when the company knew of those risks and what efforts, if any, the company took to hide those risks. Only through legal action can anyone gain access to much of this information.
