Jason is at the front of many lawsuits brought on by a dye used during MRI and MRA scans. The dye is called gadolinium. There were studies done is to try to find the correlation between the rare disease and the gadolinium used in the scans. Many medical experts had already known about the possibility of the potential for catastrophic consequences from this known toxic element in certain formulations since the late 1980’s. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued three written warnings (June 2006, December 2006 and May 2007) concerning the risk of NSF with gadolinium-contrast dye. Now, Jason is seeing more and more lawsuits against General Electric and Mallinckrodt, the makers of the gadolinium-contrast dyes, together with Cedars-Sinai Imaging Group and several radiologists. “You cannot imagine what it does to the skin until you have seen and touched an individual who has this disease,” said Jason. “It is essentially a man-made disease resulting from this dye, and it has forever changed their lives at no fault of their own.” Jason fights for these people and is a determined lawyer who will find vindication for the afflicted.
