US action star is suing 11 drug firms for $10m, claiming his wife was poisoned by gadolinium from her MRIs
Action film star Chuck Norris and his wife Gena have filed a $10 million (£7.6 million) lawsuit against 11 pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors. The pair holds these companies responsible for effects they are attributing to gadolinium contrast dye used during Gena’s MRI scans.
Chelated gadolinium is used to improve the clarity of MRIs, and the lawsuit claims that accumulated residual gadolinium has left Gena weak and tired, with debilitating pain.
