Gadolinium and Skin Disease
At Rheingold, Valet, Rheingold, Shkolnik & McCartney, we handle a wide range of drug liability claims, including those involving the contrast agent (sometimes known as an "MRI dye") Gadolinium.
You may have been poisoned by Gadolinium if you have recently received an MRI and are experiencing any of the following NSF symptoms:

- Swelling and inflammation of the skin
- Skin lesions
