The Recall Process for Medical Devices

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the medical device industry. In order to bring a medical product to market, the manufacturer is tasked with conducting studies of its safety and effectiveness. The corporation can ignore adverse outcomes or may not ask all the right questions during its research. Once the product is on the market, the FDA must have proof of its risks of injuries to take action, which might only consist of warning labels. Usually, patients must die or become seriously ill or injured before recall is proposed. Even then, the corporation may resist, creating lengthy delays in pulling the product from the medical pipeline.

The flawed system puts control in the hands of medical corporations. Unfortunately, these companies often put profits ahead of patient health.

Recent Recalls of Medical Devices

Our law firm handles all types of medical products liability claims, including of recalled products and those that should, but have not yet been, recalled. We keep track of industry data so we understand what products are injuring patients. Recently recalled products that you should be aware of include:

  • Transvaginal meshes, which causes infection, inflammation, pain and organ perforation
  • Lap bands, that perforates the stomach lining
  • Metal and metal hips, that shred and release dangerous shards of metal into the body
  • Cardiac defibrillators, in which the leads disconnect
  • Vena cava filters, that break lose and migrate to other parts of the body
  • Birth control rings and IUDs, linked to blood clots, strokes, heart attacks and pain
  • Bone grafts, that causes severe pain, discomfort and difficulty breathing
