Exactech Hip Recall Attorney Weighs In
November 30, 2023. By Jane Mundy.
Atlanta, GA Since attorney Kirk Pope filed in federal court an Exactech class-action lawsuit against the orthopedic device manufacturer alleging its hip implant is defective, his civil litigation law firm Pope McGlamry is working with more clients who have had their Exactech hip recalled. “I have several clients who needed revision surgery—they have suffered terribly due to Exactech’s failure,” says attorney Pope. Their defective hip implant lawsuits claim that the Exactech implant used during a routine total hip arthroplasty surgery was defectively designed, manufactured, marketed, and sold by Exactech.

Attorney Discusses Bard Power Port Failures and Lawsuits
November 2, 2023. By Jane Mundy.
Santa Clara, CA After serious injuries have been linked to Bard PowerPort catheters, many PowerPort lawsuits have been filed. The Dickey Anderson law firm alone has filed dozens of complaints, which could be the tip of the iceberg: The FDA has received thousands of reports from patients claiming injuries or side effects from the Bard catheters. “Most of our clients have developed infection from this defective port-catheter and one woman had to undergo surgery to remove the implanted device,” says attorney Aaron Dickey. “Another client had a cardiac injury that we believe was attributed to Bard’s catheter. These injuries shouldn’t have happened because the science was there to make a safer alternative.”

“Now is not the time to tinker with Injectafer labeling,” says Attorney
September 2, 2020. By Jane Mundy.
West Palm Beach, FL Injectafer, an intravenous iron replacement drug, has recently caught the attention of researchers and the medical community, and in their wake, the legal community.

Attorney Brenda Fulmer explains why this drug is still on the market and why patients are filing Injectafer lawsuits.

"Essure Problems" Women Bring FDA's Data to Meeting that FDA were Unaware Of
March 8, 2018. By Jane Mundy.
York, PA: Last month a group of women, including "Essure Problems" Facebook representatives and Madris Tomes from Device Events, met with FDA chief Scott Gottlieb in an attempt to have the Essure sterilization device withdrawn from the U.S. market. At the meeting, Tomes presented data from the FDA's own MAUDE ((Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience) database that the FDA and their legal counsel in attendance were seemingly unaware of. One would think the FDA may be embarrassed being caught off-guard like this, to say the least.
