Children File Actos Wrongful Death Lawsuit After Father Dies From Bladder Cancer
By Matt O’Donnell
The surviving children of a man who died from cancer they say was caused by the diabetes drug Actos have filed a wrongful death lawsuit in California Superior Court. They claim the manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, failed to warn consumers of the risks of Actos side effects, including the increased risk of developing bladder cancer — even though they knew or should have known these risks exist. Their wrongful death lawsuit joins hundreds of other Actos bladder cancer lawsuits making similar allegations against the pharmaceutical company. Siblings Sandra Miller and Michael Dendo allege in the Actos wrongful death lawsuit that their father, Albert Dendo, died from Actos side effects. The Plaintiffs claim that Albert’s cancer, which began in his bladder and spread to other organs, caused him significant pain and suffering, mental anguish, and other injuries. With the help of their Actos lawyer, the Plaintiffs are charging Takeda with negligence, failure to warn, wrongful death, breach of warranty, defective design, deceit by concealment, and other allegations.
