Products Liability

Medical Devices have been created to repair, replace, and assist various body parts or bodily functions. These products help prolong life, restore functionality and treat life-threatening conditions. As with any other manufactured product, medical devices are prone to the same failures as an electric hairdryer or tire. Unfortunately, however, when a medical device is defectively designed or fails the result is often a serious injury or death for the patient.

Many medical devices have been removed from the market and/or the subject of litigation. As in the case of unsafe drugs, the lawsuits often take the form of “Mass Tort Litigation.” Some of the more high-profile medical devices embroiled in such litigation are:

  • Hip replacements and implants
  • Transvaginal mesh
  • Breast implants
  • Dialysis machines
  • Defibrillators
  • Implants (cobalt poisoning risk)
  • Knee replacements and implants
  • Various stents and shunts pacemakers
  • Testing equipment of various types
