One of the most common—and most serious—types of product liability claims involves defective or dangerous medical devices.

Common Medical Device Recalls & Defects
Whether due to a lack of adequate testing, a push for profits, manufacturing errors, or other factors, defective and dangerous medical devices make it onto the market and into the lives of patients every day. Often, this has disastrous consequences. Even when a device is recalled, uninformed doctors may continue recommending these devices to patients.
Some common defective medical devices include:
- Hip replacements
- Knee replacements
- Surgical mesh
- Vaginal and transvaginal mesh
- Hernia mesh
- Defibrillators
- Pacemakers
- IVC blood clot filters
This list is by no means exhaustive; countless studies and real-life cases have revealed many more medical devices with defects, as well as devices that are inherently dangerous. In fact, many medical manufacturing companies that have come under fire for producing such devices have set aside funds solely for the purpose of compensating victims. If you were injured by a defective medical device, you may be entitled to collect this compensation.
An Attorney Who Can Help
It can be incredibly devastating to suffer injuries and complications from a medical device that was supposed to help you. You will likely need additional surgeries, medications, and ongoing care to treat new or worsened conditions as a result of the defective device. This, in turn, will likely require you to take more time off work and, in severe cases, could lead to temporary or permanent disability.

Our Anchorage defective medical device lawyer is passionate about fighting for the rights of injured Alaskans and working to ensure they are not taken advantage of by large corporations and insurance providers.
