Man Blames Health Drink for Erection That Wouldn't Go Away

Man Blames Health Drink for Erection That Wouldn't Go Away
Tuesday, June 5, 2007 1723 PDT

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. -- A man has sued the maker of the health drink Boost
Plus, claiming the vitamin-enriched beverage gave him an erection that would
not subside and caused him to be hospitalized.

The lawsuit filed by Christopher Woods of New York said he bought the
nutrition beverage made by the pharmaceutical company Novartis AG at a
drugstore on June 5, 2004, and drank it.

Woods' court papers say he woke up the next morning "with an erection that
would not subside" and sought treatment that day for the condition, called
severe priapism.

They say Woods, 29, underwent surgery for implantation of a Winter shunt,
which moves blood from one area to another.

The lawsuit, filed late Monday, says Woods later had problems that required
a hospital visit and penile artery embolization, a way of closing blood
vessels. Closing off some blood flow prevents engorgement and lessens the
likelihood of an erection.

Woods' lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, names Novartis Consumer
Health Inc. as a defendant. A spokeswoman for the company, Brandi Robinson,
said Tuesday the company was aware of the lawsuit but does not comment on
pending litigation.

Woods' lawyer did not return telephone calls for comment Tuesday.

Novartis' Boost Plus Web site describes the drink as "a great tasting, high
calorie, nutritionally complete oral supplement for people who require extra
energy and protein in a limited volume," in vanilla, chocolate and
strawberry.

Anyone know what flavor he drank? I hope it was chocolate. I like
chocolate.

Wasn't there a suit from a woman who had continuous orgasms? This
was about 20 years ago. She was hit by a car or something like that.

-kh now if Mr. Wood-ie and that woman got together, I see a solution.

Sure that isn't Mr. Wood.
I had to say that!
