Actor Chuck Norris today sued medical device manufacturers, arguing that the MRI scans his wife underwent poisoned her.

As reported by Fox News, the protagonist of action movies like Missing in Action and The Hitman, considers that a substance called gadolinium that the doctors injected his wife, Gena Norris, to improve the clarity of the MRI weakened her too much.

The complaint filed in the San Francisco Supreme Court describes that this substance left the actor's wife fragile and exhausted, suffering episodes of intense pain and a constant burning sensation. Now the actor is asking his wife to be compensated for a metal element that is used for tests of this type also known as MRI and other imaging methods. It is a contrast agent that helps show abnormal body tissue when images are taken with a special machine.

The lawsuit accuses several manufacturers of gadolinium contrast agents of knowing their risks and failing to warn patients undergoing these types of tests.

In recent weeks, the law firm Cutter Law, which represents the well-known couple, has filed several lawsuits on behalf of other clients who also claim to be suffering from gadolinium poisoning.

The actor's lawsuit acknowledges that there is no official and public link between that substance and the symptoms reported by people who believe that their health has been affected by the metal, but ensures that this is because there were no physical tests to detect it until Recently.

In 2016, the American College of Radiology released a statement claiming that gadolinium-based contrast agents have been used for diagnosis and treatment in more than 300 million patients worldwide since the late 1980s, and provide " Crucial medical information capable of saving lives."
