The problem with some medical devices is that they were not adequately tested before being placed on the market. You may think that if the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has approved a device, it will be fine, but the industry often pushes for FDA approval without fully testing its own products. A product liability attorney at our firm is familiar with a number of different kinds of devices that are considered dangerous or defective:
- Knee joints
- Stents
- Hip replacement devices
- Pacemakers
- Cosmetic surgery implants
- Defibrillators
- Contraceptive devices
- Patches
Sometimes problems with a device may only become apparent when people, not lab animals, have health problems after using the device for a period of time. We depend on modern medicine to improve our health and extend our lives with technical improvements. We count on them to have been thoroughly tested and proven to be safe and effective. When they turn out not to be, a product liability attorney can work to hold the manufacturers accountable.

As your product liability attorney will explain in detail when you call our firm, there are basically three types of defective medical device claims.
- The medical device was defectively manufactured or handled – at any point between the factory and the body.
- The device was made properly but the design was defective. This could mean that the device malfunctions or breaks down in or on the body. In some cases, the problems with the device may have been concealed or not thoroughly investigated.
- The device was marketed wrong. This could mean that warnings were not issued to doctors. It could refer to instructions on how to use the device. It could be the sales language that convinced doctors to use it.
The manufacturer, a testing laboratory, the medical sales representative, a seller of devices, a hospital and / or a doctor could all be liable for injuries caused by defective products
