Dangers of Defective Medical Devices and Pharmaceuticals

Did you know that the medical implant device industry has little to no FDA regulation ?

Salespeople, and not trained physicians or even medical professionals, are often the “experts” in the operating room, showing doctors how to implant their company’s product. It’s no wonder innocent patients have been injured and killed by defective medical implants, including breast implants, unsafe organ and vaginal meshes, and orthopedic screws and rods.

Unsafe drugs and medical devices can pose a serious health risk to innocent consumers. Poorly designed or inadequately tested medical devices can cause infection, further injury, or even death. Pharmaceutical companies sometimes push drugs to market, only to issue recalls or warnings months or years later about potentially life-threatening side effects.

Some of these products are still available to the public and have caused injuries that include heart failure, liver damage, brain trauma, strokes, blood clots, and suicide. While nearly all drugs have side effects, big pharma often hides the extent and prevalence of these dangers.
