Supreme Court ruling could have serious consequences for injured victims

The Supreme Court recently handed down a ruling regarding defective medical devices that may have serious ramification for the victims of California defective medical product injuries. A California defective medical device injury can be life-altering and extremely painful; injuries suffered from devices that were negligently manufactured—such as an artificial hip implant laden with bacteria or a painkiller patch that leaks and exposes users to harmful levels of dangerous drugs—can even result in death.

The Supreme Court ruled that a medical device manufacturer, despite if one of their devices is later proven to be defective, is not liable for damages to a harmed individual if the device was originally approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This ruling comes as a huge surprise to most Americans, who expect our courts to be able to help us if we fall victim to a California defective medical device injury.

Another heparin recall; allergic reactions possibly life-threatening

There has been an urgent nationwide recall of heparin units manufactured by Baxter Healthcare Corporation. The recall is the result of an increased number of adverse reactions to the drug, some of which may be life-threatening. This recall is different and apparently unrelated to the heparin recall reported earlier in the week.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), reactions to the most recently-recalled heparin doses include stomach pain or discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased or low blood pressure, chest pain, fast heart rate, dizziness, fainting, and a host of other dangerous drug injury symptoms.

The recalled heparin could cause serious California drug injury and even death.

Heparin-filled syringes recalled due to serious health risk

A North Carolina company has issued a nationwide recall of heparin and saline pre-filled syringes because people in several states have become seriously ill due to a bacterial infection found in the syringes. The syringes are used for a variety of home medical uses, such as cleaning out catheter tubes.

The bacterial contaminant is known as Serratia marcescens, which according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), “could present a serious adverse health consequence that could lead to life-threatening injuries and/or death.”

The bacteria can potentially cause serious California personal injury and death.

Ortho Evra Warning Label Strengthened

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently updated the label on the Ortho Evra birth control patch, warning users that a new study shows users of the Ortho Evra birth control patch are at an elevated risk of developing serious blood clots, which can result in a serious California drug injury.

The blood clots are known as venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) and occur, according to the study, at a higher rate in women using the birth control patch than women taking birth control pills.

Blood clots can cause serious California personal injury and even death.
