What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Montana
This last March I purchased a "health-food" supplement that is becoming popular called "Phenibut". This supplement is touted as a safe stress reliever and sleep aid. No precautions are openly noted by manufacturer or retailer. Well, after ingesting this substance I woke up in a local hospital ICU after having been in a coma for over a week with kidney failure. To add insult to injury I was with a completely torn quadriceps muscle which had to be surgically repaired in order for me to walk again. The cause? Seizures preceding the coma were so intense! Before this ordeal I "was" a successful small business owner, however, related circumstances including an extensive hospital stay with no insurance, rehab, and bills changed my life to such a degree to that I am desperate and now near homelessness.
I have been going through absolute HELL as my life has crumbling around me due to my use of this product. And as well, I probably will never be the athletically capable triathlete as I was prior to using this very dangerous supplement which is with my recent understanding is hugely lacking in its safety research. There are no consumer warnings, however some investigations into private on-line forums have uncovered consumer discussions regarding its potency, warnings and dangers which are subsequently absent to the consumer who isn't as research savvy. After a wikipedia search, my doctor said the mechanisms of action seem to be largely vague but what evidence he could substantiate, he felt sounded dangerous in several ways including how it effects the brain. I've never sought legal council prior to this and have yet only reached attorneys who do auto accidents, divorces, and bankruptcies. One attorney told me it would be impossibly expensive to fund the case. Help!
