Personal Injury Attorneys for Dangerous Drugs and Devices.

About dangerous drugs.

Nearly everyone has to take a prescription or over-the-counter medication during the course of their life. However, drugs approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sometimes cause harm. Often, many people taking these medications are not aware of the dangerous – and potentially deadly – side effects of various drugs.

The list of dangerous drugs covers a wide range, and drugs commonly considered safe can be dangerous if taken by certain people in certain situations. Depending on the drug and the individual, side effects may include:

• Heart attack or stroke.
• Birth defects.
• Cancer.
• Physical debilitation.
• Death.

About defective medical devices.

Medical device manufacturers sometimes create and develop products that do not work correctly. Makers of such products often promise an improved quality of life for users. Yet, sometimes these products do the opposite.

Patients often suffer infections and sometimes lose physical mobility when medical devices are not designed correctly or are improperly installed. Those dangers are why many medical devices have been subject to recalls or warnings issued by the FDA. Because an FDA recall is issued when the government believes that a medical product poses a serious threat to the public, FDA recalls are very serious matters. When such recalls are issued, patients using such devices should immediately consult their doctor.

In recent years, there has been extensive litigation concerning certain products due to their dangerous side effects. Some of those products that are linked to serious side effects include:

• Metal-on-metal hip implants.
• Transvaginal mesh.
• Shoulder pain pumps.
• Defective knee replacements.
• Hernia patches.
