Birth Defect Attorney Jason Byrd Seeks to Educate the Public on the Severity of a Cleft Lip

Founder of the Byrd Law Firm, Jason Byrd, is on a mission to inform the public of just how serious the condition of a cleft lip can be.

“Often people think that a cleft lip or cleft palate is a cosmetic flaw that can simply be fixed by plastic surgery,” Jason Byrd explains. “However, the truth of the matter is that the condition can result in a number of development issues.”

Byrd goes on to say that the condition “can cause a number of developmental issues, problems with eating and talking due to the inability to purse the lips, severe ear infections, and can ultimately result in the necessity of correctional surgery, speech therapy, and excessive dental work.”

The sudden focus on this unfortunate condition is the result of recent findings that the drug known as Topamax, which was used by many pregnant women to fight seizures and migraines during pregnancy, has been linked to certain birth defects—cleft lip being a major one.

Other birth defects linked to the drug are genital defects and facial and skeletal deformations.

“If you took Topamax and your newborn child has a cleft lip, please understand the potential severity,” Byrd implores. “You need a birth defect attorney to help fight for your cause.”
