Two parents, Joshua and Lindsey Whitener, are suing the makers of the heartburn drug Reglan for supposedly causing birth defects in their child.

Lindsey Whitener was prescribed Reglan for morning sickness when she was seven weeks pregnant with their son.  She alleges her doctor told her the medication was safe and did not warn her of the possibility of harmful side-effects to her unborn child.  Whitener took Reglan for four weeks.

The Whitener’s son was born prematurely at 36 weeks with serious physical disabilities and had to spend the first six months of his life in the hospital.  Doctors told her they were unsure of what caused their son’s problems.

Lindsey Whitener became suspicious a year later after seeing a commercial about Reglan’s negative side effects on TV.
