Lawsuit Against Pharmaceutical Giant Pfizer Inc

Emerson Poynter LLP, a law firm with offices in Little Rock, Houston and Seattle, said Tuesday that it filed a lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc., saying the company misrepresented facts about the safety of two drugs, Celebrex and Bextra.

Pfizer removed all marketing for Celebrex on Monday after questions were raised about the pain medication’s safety. Emerson Poynter’s lawsuit is the third Pfizer faces after disclosing Friday that Celebrex and Bextra might increase the chances of heart problems in users.

Last week, Pfizer released a study that Celebrex users had double the chance of experiencing heart problems than patients taking placebo.

Emerson Poynter filed the lawsuit on behalf of shareholders who purchased Pfizer stock between Nov. 1, 2000, and Dec. 16, 2004.

Emerson Poynter, whose Little Rock offices are at 2228 Cottondale Ave., was founded by partners John G. Emerson and Scott E. Poynter, both Arkansas natives. The firm specializes in securities purchaser class action lawsuits.
