Medical Recall
Medical devices, products and drugs are recalled every day. The Food and Drug Administration recalls them because they are defective and because they cause injury and death.
Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the recalls. What is important is talking to your doctor about any concerns or questions you have, and also making sure the medical device you use has been thoroughly tested and won’t put you at risk.
When a medical product is recalled, it is important to contact your doctor immediately to find out what you need to do. Most of the time, devices are replaced at no cost to you. Unfortunately, this can mean undergoing surgery again.
It is helpful to have a personal injury attorney representing you during this process, to make sure your medical bills, lost wages, and other costs are taken care of.
