The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) entered a consent decree of permanent injunction against Deltex Pharmaceuticals Inc. a Fort Bend County drug maker, based on "a history of significant violations," including manufacturing and distributing unapproved, adulterated and misbranded drugs.
The FDA originally requested a permanent injunction against Deltex and its president, Kabir Ahmed, and vice president, Mohidur R. Khan, because the company allegedly failed to obtain approval for its prescription drugs, failed to comply with federal regulations governing over-the-counter drugs and did not adhere to good manufacturing practices. It conducted a number of inspections in 2008 where it found numerous violations regarding quality control procedures and laboratory testing. The FDA alleged that it made several recommendations to correct these problems, but they were not followed.
Conversely, Ahmed issued a statement, stating that "Deltex has and will continue to take all the necessary steps to comport with (manufacturing) requirements and pass FDA inspection. In addition, Deltex has for some time discontinued manufacture and distribution of those drugs which the FDA has deemed unapproved new drugs."
As part of the consent decree, Deltex will also recall and destroy all drugs produced and distributed since Oct. 31, 2008, and inform customers of the recall. The warning will cover all the unapproved drugs intended for treating cold, flu, allergies and coughs, including Tannate Pediatric Suspension, DuohistTM DH Liquid, Ed-A-Hist DM and Bromphenex DM.
Consumers harmed by dangerous drugs can take action against manufacturers and retailers through a product liability action. A specific type of negligence, called strict liability, applies in these circumstances, based on an absolute duty for a manufacturer to make a product safe for the public. Otherwise, it would be particularly difficult (and expensive) for consumers to prove how the negligence occurred and make the causal link to their specific injury.
Under strict liability, a consumer is entitled to compensation if he or she is injured by a product that had an "unusually dangerous defect" (either through design, manufacture or handling). A consumer need only prove that he or she used the product in the way it was intended to be used, and there was no substantial change in the product from how it was originally sold. Using the Deltex products as an example, a consumer harmed by one of the recalled medicines could bring a claim based on the FDA violations cited in creating the drugs.
If you or a loved one has been sickened or injured by a defective drug, contact an experienced personal injury attorney to learn about your rights and options.

I dealt with Steve Walden, Marissa, and Rebekah in family law. I am a divorced single father in the military who took custody of my son due to my ex-wife's numerous chemical addictions. Despite these circumstances the court and child support system were biased against me because of my gender. All I wanted was to take care of my son and give him the chances I never had. Carlson law firm helped me achieve that. They were flexible with payments, were in constant communication with me and the court, and argued on my behalf so impressively that the court found in my behavior without hesitation. If you are alone and feel like no one has your back, they will help you. I owe them so much.

I was very weary of seeking an attorney after my accident, especially since it had been over a year. A friend told me she had used Carlson and so I made an appointment. I didn't have to pay anything and I got all the advice I needed to figure out the next steps. I highly recommend this law firm!

I've been dealing with 3 people at the Carlson Law Firm since May. Isabelle (Legal Assist) has gone over and above in her kindness, patience, and being very understanding. She has kept me abreast of any matters pertaining to our legal issue and has constantly displayed professionalism. I recently started speaking with Mandy and she as well has gone above to assist me with any questions or concerns that I may have. As for Vicky the attorney...she is an amazing attorney. When I've needed to speak directly with her she has contacted me back. The choice my husband and I made to seek legal help from her was the best decision that we could have made. I will definately recommend their law firm to anyone that would need the best legal help. Thanks so much Vicky, Isabelle and Mandy for EVERYTHING.

Kathryn Knotts has been a big asset to us during some hard time when my wife was involved in a car accident. We didn't know what to do. She was always very polite, professional and patient with us. Would gladly go back to her if we had legal issues again. Thanks for the help.

I was in a wreck that involved some pretty minor property damage. I was surprised to realize a couple days later that I was suffering from a whiplash injury. This firm helped me find the medical treatment I needed and treated me like I mattered, even though my claim was not very big. When my case was all said and done, I was feeling better, my medical bills were paid, and I even got a little money in my pocket to cover the inconvenience of being in a wreck. Thank you Drew and Edith for taking care of me!

Carlson Law Firm did an outstanding job in handling my case. I was so overwhelmed with bill collectors calling and people asking so many questions that I wasn't sure how to answer. Carlson Law Firm came right in and helped make things much easier on me and helped me to understand how the entire process works. They touched base with me frequently to let me know how things were going and even made a trip all the way out to my house because I had no vehicle to make it into the office to meet with them. I would recommend them to everyone I talk with.
~Brittany
I am so thankful for The Carlson Law Firm. I was going through a very difficult time and spoke to their receptionist. She told me she would have an attorney call me back. Within the hour, I received a call from Mr. Rob Ranco, who listened to what I had to say and how he could best help me. Long story short, everything has been awesome. I am informed of all negotiations and updated frequently. I would like to thank all the lawyers and staff at The Carlson Law Firm.
~Gloria

~Andres
Kathryn was extremely helpful in settling my automobile accident claim. It was a relief knowing she was taking care of everything so I could continue doing the things I needed to do day to day at work and at home. She was quick to respond if I had a question and explained things in understandable terms.
~Jerry
I just moved here on my own, got into a wreck and had no oen here to help me. When I contacted this law firm, they made everything easy for me, asked me important questions about my accident and took care of everything else. They would update me as often as possible so I was never left wondering about the process and were so kind, communicative and straight to the point. I would gladly and honestly recommend The Calrson Law Firm to anyone in need.
~Andie
The Carlson Law Firm in Round Rock did an excellent job with my auto accident. With having my very first wreck, I didn't know what to expect and didn't fully understand the process, however, they took their time in explaining the process to me. This firm exercised a lot of patience with me even when I assumed that the whole process was going to be an overnighter and helped me not only pay off my medical bills but put some money in my pocket. I would totally recommend this firm to all of my friends. Thanks a bunch!
