Defective Products and Medical Devices

PERSONAL INJURY LAW

Consumer products and medical devices have standards they must meet before being made available to the public. Products intended for children and babies, medical devices, and safety equipment all come with an expectation that it will improve people’s lives, not destroy them. When someone is injured using a product they trust to help them, their confidence is destroyed. Side effects and consequences of defects can have catastrophic impacts.

NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit

Baby formula is supposed to provide essential nutrition to newborns. Unfortunately, certain formulas made by Enfamil and Similac have been shown to increase the occurrence of NEC in babies. Necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC, is a rare intestinal disorder affecting preemies. The condition is fatal in 50% of the instances.

Mead Johnson and Abbott Laboratories products Enfamil and Similac have no warnings about NEC as a side effect of baby formula or proper guidelines for their use. They continue to market this products as safe and beneficial for premature babies.

Examples of Defective Products

Manufacturers of the chemical weed killer Roundup knew exposure to it may cause severe illnesses, most notably non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Roundup lawsuits contend that agrochemical giant Monsanto purposely concealed cancer risks and failed to provide sufficient warnings on the dangers of glyphosate exposure in both agricultural and horticultural applications.

While natural talc contains asbestos, manufacturing processes dating back to 1970 claimed to remove all traces of the carcinogen.

According to Reuters, “J&J didn’t tell the FDA that at least three tests by three different labs from 1972 to 1975 had found asbestos in its talc – in one case at levels reported as ‘rather high.’”

For decades, internal test results were hidden from the public. Decades later women are developing ovarian cancer related to the use of this product.

Recent studies found the use of chemical hair straightening products, hair relaxers, and other hair products present an increased risk of uterine cancer. Some of the most common home straightening products like Dark & Lovely, Just For Me, and Softsheen are being named in new hair relaxer lawsuits.

Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) has been used in firefighting for decades, especially in combating fuel fires when water is not an effective suppressant. When combined with water, it creates a foam that extinguishes the fire’s oxygen source. However, these chemicals are now causing cancer and other serious illnesses. Learn more about our firefighter foam lawsuit efforts.

The use of continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) machines has helped millions of Americans who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. However, some patients who used CPAP devices from Philips Respironics have developed cancer and other medical conditions.

Ray M

After getting hurt at work I had problems with workers compensation right away. Comp was denying claims for medical treatment and not paying correct amount of wages. I was very worried and stressed till I called Rutter Mills. Attorney Jesse Pound with paralegal Jordan Johnson made all my problems go away. Thank you so much for all your help.

Victor B.

What I loved about my Rutter Mills experience was the team approach they provided from start to finish. The paralegal Selena D. was always keeping me updated and accurately collecting information to make sure my case was on a strong foundation. My attorney, Adam Lotkin raises the bar to the highest standard. Adam's knowledge, experience, and grit afforded me the strongest settlement in my case. Top 1% settlement is the best way to describe it. Your attorney matters and I am so glad I choose Rutter Mills, Adam Lotkin, and team to represent my case. I will use Rutter Mills again for my future needs.
