Defective Product Lawsuits & Litigation

There are countless products on the market that have the potential to cause injuries, but some of the most common include: 

  • DePuy Hip Recall
  • DePuy's artificial hips are implanted in people whose natural hips are damaged or worn down. However, the hips have a high failure rate, and 1 in 8 patients needs revision surgeries within five years due to pain and difficulty walking.
  • Defective Vehicles
  • Vehicles must pass rigorous inspection testing before consumers are allowed to purchase them, so when flaws are discovered, it may be too late for many families and their loved ones.
  • Dangerous Cribs
  • Cribs should be safe places where children can rest and sleep, but some cribs pose serious risks of injury and death to infants.
  • Toxic Toys
  • Some toys are manufactured with toxic chemicals and metals, including lead, which can cause neurological damage in young children.
  • Forced-Air Warming Blanket
  • Used to regulate the body temperature of surgical patients in a majority of U.S. hospitals, the surgical warming blanket may increase the chances of deep joint infection by up to 380%.
  • IVC Filter
  • Inferior vena cava filters are inserted into patients to prevent blood clots from reaching the heart or lungs. But when the devices fail, they can move into patients' heart or lungs, often resulting in life-threatening injuries and death.
  • Mesothelioma
  • Asbestos is used in building and manufacturing due to its strength and durability. However, it can cause a deadly lung cancer called mesothelioma, which typically occurs after inhalation of loose asbestos fibers.
  • Mirena® IUD
  • The Mirena IUD is implanted into a woman's uterus for up to five years at a time. But the device can migrate within the body, causing painful internal injuries, scarring, and even infertility.
  • Morcellator Cancer
  • Morcellators are powered surgical tools used to remove tissue masses in a variety of surgical procedures, including hysterectomies and myomectomies. These instruments can sometimes cause the spread of cancerous tissue and cells throughout the body, resulting in new cancers growing on other organs.
  • Stryker® Hip Recall
  • Over time, Stryker Orthopaedics' line of metal-on-metal hip replacement products can wear down, causing small pieces of metal to break off and enter the bloodstream, which can lead to serious and painful injuries, including a severe medical condition called metallosis.
  • Talc Ovarian Cancer
  • Talc-based products, such as baby powder and feminine deodorants, may cause an increased risk of ovarian cancer in women who use the product in the genital area.
  • Transvaginal Mesh Failure
  • Transvaginal mesh is a medical device designed to support the internal structure of the vagina in women who have suffered pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence, and other medical conditions. The mesh has a high rate of complications, and women may suffer bleeding, bladder perforation, and incontinence.
  • Zimmer Persona® Knee Implant
  • Certain components of the Zimmer Persona total knee replacement system can loosen within the knee, causing side effects that can require additional surgery to correct.
