Thimerosal Lawsuit Information

Thimerosal is an organic compound used as a preservative in many vaccines since the 1930s. Although it contains almost 50 percent mercury by weight, Thimerosal was thought, until recently, to be benign. At high levels of exposure, mercury has been found to cause neurological, immune, behavioral and motor disorders. There is a fear that Thimerosal in vaccines is linked to disorders such as autism, attention deficit disorder (ADD), and speech and development disorders. Although Thimerosal has been removed from children's vaccines in 2001, it was recently used in the H1N1 vaccine in late 2009.

Thimerosal and Its Use as a Preservative in Vaccines

Thimerosal has been used as a vaccine preservative since the 1930s and, until recently, it has been viewed as a safe, reliable, and somewhat drab defender against bacterial and fungal contamination -- it kills bacteria and prevents bacterial contamination in certain containers. Some of the vaccines that contain Thimerosal are often recommended for use on infants and young children, including vaccines for Hepatitis B, diphtheria, pertussis, acellular pertussis, and tetanus.
