Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch Lawsuit
Medical device makers develop and market products that are supposed to help health care consumers. In each case, manufacturers are expected and required to conduct testing to determine the effectiveness and safety of their product. While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for approving drugs and medical devices, the FDA is not a consumer group or safety watchdog. In fact, the FDA often depends on manufacturers to provide them with proof of product safety. Over the years, however, drug manufacturers and medical device makers have sometimes chosen to place profits above quality control and public safety. At The Potts Law Firm, our attorneys work with medical professionals, researchers, design engineers and other experts in exposing dangers and design flaws inherent in certain drugs and medical devices.
The medical device lawyers at the Potts Law Firm have a successful track record of trying complex medical cases and getting justice for our clients.
