Greene, Broillet Will Hold a Press Conference Tuesday to Announce a Product Liability Lawsuit Against a Pharmaceutical Maker of an OTC Brand of Ibuprofen for Children.


WHAT:     The family of a 7-year old girl, along with her attorneys
          Browne Greene and Geoff Wells, will hold a press conference
          on Tuesday, December 28, 2004 at 10:00 AM at the Firm's
          offices, 100 Wilshire Boulevard, 21st Floor,
          Santa Monica, CA.

          At that time, they will announce the filing of a product
          liability lawsuit against a leading pharmaceutical company
          which makes and distributes a popular over-the-counter brand
          of ibuprofen for children. The lawsuit will allege that the
          drug maker's failure to warn the public about the possible
          risk of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome makes this children's
          product unsafe and dangerous to sell to customers.

WHO:      A little girl, then age-6, came home from school complaining
          of a fever. Her parents gave her a popular over-the-counter
          brand of ibuprofen for children, which carried no warning
          labels of the possible risk of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, a
          severe, adverse skin reaction. As a result of taking this
          medicine, the child (through her parents as guardian ad
          litem) will allege that she suffered from Stevens-Johnson
          Syndrome and is now blind and suffers serious, ongoing
          medical problems as a consequence.

WHEN:     TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2004 AT 10:00 AM

WHERE:    GREENE, BROILLET, PANISH & WHEELER, LLP
          100 Wilshire Boulevard, Twenty-First Floor
