If you've purchased over-the-counter decongestants containing phenylephrine, you might be eligible for compensation. Recent studies have demonstrated that phenylephrine is no more effective than a placebo when taken orally, leading to lawsuits against manufacturers for misleading consumers.
Phenylephrine, a common ingredient in over-the-counter decongestants, is marketed for its effectiveness in relieving nasal congestion. Recent studies and FDA advisories have shown that phenylephrine taken orally is ineffective as a decongestant, yet companies have continued to advertise and market products containing this ingredient as a remedy for nasal congestion. Americans spend nearly $1.8 billion a year on cold and allergy medicines containing phenylephrine. Keller Postman represents individuals who have purchased these medications, aiming to secure justice and compensation for consumers misled by false advertising and ineffective products.

If you purchased over-the-counter medications containing phenylephrine, you may qualify for a lawsuit. Plaintiffs allege that manufacturers marketed and sold products containing phenylephrine despite studies showing it was no more effective than a placebo when taken orally.
Compensation amounts will vary depending on the details of each case. While the exact figures are determined based on individual circumstances, most claims are expected to result in compensation ranging from several hundred to potentially thousands of dollars.
