Too often, in their efforts to rush new products onto the market, manufacturers ignore safe practices and fail to conduct adequate testing that could have revealed the dangers of their products. In certain cases, medical device makers are aware of dangers associated with their products before ever placing them on the market. Approval of a product by the FDA does not immunize the manufacturer from liability, and deaths and injuries can occur even when the devices have been used according to the manufacturers’ warnings and instructions.
Dangerous Medical Devices
Personal Injury Deserves Personal ServiceManufacturers do not create devices with the intention of hurting patients. A device becomes defective when it is not properly tested or the research is not conclusive before the product is designed. It is the FDA’s responsibility to protect the public from any health hazards that may be caused by a defective medical device or implant. New products undergo years of laboratory and clinical testing before they are approved for widespread use. However, these tests are not infallible. Often, despite the FDA’s rigorous approval process, dangerous medical products are introduced into the marketplace. Unfortunately, it is only after a significant number of consumers become injured and file legal complaints that a mass recall is issued.
