Las Vegas Product Liability Attorneys

Las Vegas Medical Lawyers

The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves medical products and drugs that reach the market in the U.S., but the FDA does not conduct its own product testing. It requires that product manufacturers do that.

Adequate product testing should ensure product safety, but as we have seen with many product recalls, this is not always the case. Recent recalls of and safety warnings about defective medical devices and dangerous medical products include:

• NexGen knee replacements
• DePuy hip replacements
• Simply Thick baby milk thickening agent (linked to late onset necrotizing enterocolitis, a life-threatening bowel inflammation)
• Povidone Iodine Prep Pads (contaminated with the bacterium Elizabethkingia meningoseptica, which could lead to life-threatening infections)
• Weck Hem-o-Lok Ligating Clips used during kidney removal

Past medical device recalls have defects have included breast implants, pain pumps and insulin pumps, pelvic mesh, ObTape and others.

Experience that Gets Results in Product Liability Cases

At Harris & Harris, we have the experience, the resources and the know-how to investigate your product liability case. We are aggressive in pursuing the facts and getting our clients the full compensation they need.

When the defective product is a medical device, the result of the product failure can be the death of a patient. No amount of money can repay a family for the loss of a loved one, but a wrongful death lawsuit can bring accountability to the manufacturer and some peace of mind to a grieving family.
