Medical Product Failure

Medical productions of all kinds, from Guidant heart products, to improperly marketed or developed drugs, can cause serious brain injury in innocent consumers.

Please call us if you have been injured by any defective medical devise or medication including but not limited to the following:

Fentanyl - has been linked to overdose to an alarming degree in people who are prescribed the patch. In addition, the lollipop form of fentanyl has been under scrutiny because of the highly addictive properties of Actiq.

Medtronic Defibrillator - Medtronic reports that the device can fracture after implantation, delivering a painful and potentially deadly electrical jolt to the patient.

Trasylol - use linked to increased risk of death, kidney or renal failure, heart attacks, strokes and encephalopathy among heart surgery patients. There may have been approximately 22,000 deaths.

Shoulder pain pumps - have been linked to the development of a rare condition which causes the progressive destruction of cartilage in the shoulder joint, resulting in permanent pain.

Total BodyR formula - FDA officials found hazardous levels of selenium in the supplements, 200 times the amount of selenium indicated on the labels of the products.

OrthroEvra Contraceptive Patch - failed to disclose that the side effects and risks of blood clots, stroke or heart attack are greater than from taking a pill. 

Paxil - pregnant women taking this medication were 1½ to 2 times more likely to give birth to a child with a heart defect.

Chantix - linked to increased risk of suicides and aggressive and erratic behavior.

Heparin - hundreds of people experienced allergic reactions.

Digitex - this heart medication was recalled because it causes toxicity in renal-failure patients because the tablet may have contained double the dose than required.

MRI - kidney failure - the gadolinium-based contrast agents cause kidney failure in some patients.

Prozac - when given to pregnant women late into the pregnancy, can cause serious birth defects.

Hip & Knee Replacements - the technique known as gamma irradiation in air to sterilize the devises (hip and knee prostheses) may cause the healthy bone to decay once implanted

Avandia - used for type 2 diabetes has a possible side effect of heart failure or other problems.
