A recent Poligrip lawsuit has argued that the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, failed to disclose or warn consumers that it added zinc to certain products in its line of Poligrip denture cream. It has been alleged that adding zinc in the Poligrip ingredients without informing consumers put denture wearers at risk of zinc poisoning due to ingesting excessive amounts of denture adhesive.

Poligrip Lawsuit

Poligrip denture cream products include:

• Super Poligrip Original
• Super Poligrip Ultra Fresh
• Poligrip Extra Care
• Super Poligrip Free
• Extra Strength Super Poligrip Powder
• Super Poligrip Comfort Seal Strips

Poligrip and other denture creams that contain zinc have been linked to a serious neurological condition called neuropathy. Denture creams which are used by more than 35 million people in the United States may have put denture wearers at risk of zinc poisoning through ingesting excessive amounts of zinc contained in the denture adhesive. This chronic zinc poisoning can lead to neuropathy and other neurological problems.

Poligrip side effects caused by a zinc overdose may include:

• Tingling in the extremities
• Problems with balance
• Loss of ability to move legs, feet, arms or hands
• Decrease in walking stride
