Most drugs are not sold to consumers in pure form. This is true of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Instead, these products are usually mixed with other substances to make a pill or syrup that is safe and easy for individuals to ingest.

Unfortunately, these additional substances may become contaminated, which could cause individuals to suffer serious illnesses. If you or someone you love suffered illness or injury after using a contaminated pharmaceutical product, contact the New Jersey drug contamination lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529 to discuss your situation with a legal professional.

Types of Drug Contamination

Drug contamination occurs when a toxic substance is mixed in with a drug before it is sold. This usually happens as a result of negligence during the manufacturing of the drug.

Common drug contaminants include:

  • Toxic metals, such as lead and mercury
  • Other toxic substances, such as arsenic
  • Bacteria
  • Fungi

Any of these contaminants can be harmful to individuals who take the affected drug. Individuals who have suffered poisoning from a contaminated drug may experience illnesses ranging from nausea to memory loss.

If you have suffered harm because of drug contamination, you should contact a New Jersey drug contamination lawyer to learn more about your legal rights and options.
