Actor and martial artist Chuck Norris and his wife, Gena O'Kelley, sued 11 medical companies, saying Gena was poisoned by a drug used in routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, CBS News reported. The FDA months later announced it would issue a warning on “dyes” used in MRIs.

The companies that make the contrasting agent used in some MRIs say it is safe, adding that they’re used in millions of MRIs.
