Prescription drug Digoxin is a medication used to treat congestive heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. It is available via prescription under a number of brand names, including Digitek.
On April 25, 2008, prescription drug Digitek was subject to a nationwide recall when it was discovered that all oral strength tablets of the prescription drug Digitek contained twice the approved level of active ingredient. Before it was recalled, the double-strength Digitek tablets were reported to have caused a number of injuries, including cardiac instability and death.
Obviously, placing a product on the market with twice the approved active ingredient is going to result in lawsuits from the families of those who suffered cardiac injuries or death.
