Dear Friend,
TorHoerman Law believes that people committed to justice can make a difference. For many years, we have successfully taken on some of the largest companies in the world on behalf of clients that have been injured by defective drugs, medical devices and toxic chemicals. We will continue to pursue these industries until they make the risks of their products public.
Until these risks are made public, we feel it is important to fill in the information gap and believe The Safety Report is a valuable tool in doing so. To that end, we hope you will find this newsletter educational with regards to potentially hazardous products and conditions to help keep you and your family safe.
Although we represent injured people, nothing makes us happier than preventing injuries.
We welcome your feedback and invite you to visit our website, our blog, Facebook and Twitter pages to post your comments and suggestions.
We wish you a safe winter!

Birth Defects
More links to meds during pregnancy |
Many medications taken during pregnancy are proving to increase the risk of birth defects. Most drugs
are not tested on pregnant woman due to the risks to the unborn. Yet, the drugs are still given to
pregnant women.
It is imperative that the drug companies react immediately when there becomes even the slightest
concern for the unborn child. Unfortunately, in the competitive world of pharmaceutical drugs, profits
take priority and warnings are not given until it is too late.

Are You Ready for Baby?

Congratulations, you're pregnant! ... Now what?
From diet and decorating to temptations and testing, there's so much to consider once you discover you have a little one on the way.
"Don't eat sushi!" "Take your vitamins!" "Why am I crying... again?!"
The path to parenthood can be quite overwhelming. However, like with many things, preparation is key, according to the March of Dimes' deputy medical director, Diane M. Ashton, M.D."Nutrition, getting enough exercise, keeping to a healthy weight and looking at your modifiable behavior are all important factors to think about throughout any pregnancy," she says. Here, we take a look at some key components to consider as you prep for the next chapter to begin.
1. Evaluate Your Modifiable Behavior. Translation: take a look at your lifestyle and change it accordingly. Do you smoke or do drugs? Drink alcohol? Are you getting enough sleep? Eating enough? These are all behaviors that should be modified - immediately.
