Lawsuits Claim Denture Creams Are Making People Sick

Hundreds of people across the country are suing the makers of two popular brands of denture cream claiming the adhesive caused various health problems from arm and leg numbness, to loss of balance. The Plain Dealer reports this is not just grandma and grandpa's problem. Some of the people who've gotten sick have been as young as 26. The two brands under the microscope are Fixodent and Poligrip. Diane Suchetka has been following this story for the Plain Dealer. She spoke with ideastream®'s Eric Wellman.
