Defective Medical Products

Defective medical products can lead to dangerous and even fatal consequences.

There are literally thousands of medical products available to consumers offering remedies for everything from acne to obesity. Among them are many good products that are generally safe for consumers when used as intended. Unfortunately, not all medical products are safe. In fact, some are harmful and have serious consequences for consumers who use them. At worst they can cause permanent harm and even death.

Manufacturers, distributors, and resellers of defective medical products have a responsibility to provide safe products. When they don't, they can be held liable for failing to disclose manufacturing defects and for failing to provide adequate warnings of any side effects of their use.

Medical Product Recalls

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration regularly releases urgent recall notices when a defective and potentially dangerous medical product is identified. Unfortunately and too often, the defects in some products only become apparent after patients are injured or killed by them.

Injured by a Defective Medical Device?

If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective medical product, you may be entitled to compensation from those responsible for your injury. If a loved one has died, the surviving spouse or other family members may be entitled to bring a wrongful death action against the responsible parties.

Damages can include compensation for past and future medical expenses, loss of past and future earnings, losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and even punitive damages awarded to punish the responsible parties.
