Defective Products

Medical products may suffer from a variety of defects, including design defects, manufacturing defects, problems with the testing of the drug or device, inadequate warnings or instructions for use, problems with the doctor’s prescription or incorrect distribution by the pharmacist. Any of these defects can cause serious injuries. Adverse side effects are one of the most common problems with prescription and over-the-counter medications. Our Minnesota product recall lawyers are ready to help explain your rights. Please contact us today for a no-obligation case review.

Problems can also arise if the manufacturer failed to disclose adverse testing results or adverse reactions to the drug or if contaminates entered the product during manufacturing. If you believe that a product or medical device has caused you to suffer from serious, adverse side effects or other severe injuries, an experienced product liability attorney can evaluate your situation and explain your options for bringing a claim.

Claims for injuries caused by medical devices are also included under the heading of pharmaceutical liability. Under Section 201 of the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, a medical device is defined as “an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar article that is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease.”

Examples of medical devices include: defibrillators, heart leads, orthopaedic screws, hip implants, knee implants, heart valves and many other items. If you or a loved one has been injured by a medical device or experienced adverse side effects, you may be able to recover for your injuries. Medical device litigation is complex, and an experienced attorney can evaluate your situation and help you build a case.
