Talcum PowderUsed as a baby and feminine hygiene product for decades,

talcum powder has been conclusively linked to ovarian cancer.

There are currently several high profile cases pending against

Johnson & Johnson and Shower-to-Shower regarding their

knowledge of these risks and their repeated refusal to warn

consumers or pull the products from the market.

Galaxy Note 7The Galaxy Note 7 has battery issues that can allow the

device to burst into flame. This has occurred on airplanes, in

cars, and in offices, placing not just the person with the Note

7 in danger, but all of those in the vicinity as well.

Responsible for nearly 200 injures and at least 11 deaths in the

U.S. alone, defective Takata airbags were placed in many different

makes and models from 2013 through 2015. These defective

airbags expel shrapnel upon deployment, placing everyone inside

the vehicle at risk for injury or death from flying debris.

GM Ignition SwitchesFaulty GM ignition switches have left 124 dead and hundreds

seriously injured. GM knew of the problem years before

taking action to protect consumers and is currently involved in

both criminal and civil cases regarding their negligence.

Hernia MeshUsed as a patch to support damaged or

weakened muscles, hernia mesh is supposed

to dissolve as new tissue grows. Unfortunately,

hernia mesh often migrates, causing organ

perforation, bowel obstruction, seroma, hernia

reoccurrence, and other serious issues.

Hip ImplantsProblems with hip implants exist across nearly every

implant manufacturer. Models from Stryker, DePuy, and

Bair Hugger have all experienced failure, causing infection,

pain, bone loss, tissue necrosis, and other potentially

limiting or even fatal complications. Many lawsuits are

currently being heard in regards to specific models of hip

implant, but others are likely to arise as implant companies

continue to manufacture subpar and poorly tested products.

Knee ImplantsLike hip implants, knee implants from a variety of

manufacturers have been linked to serious and fatal

complications including implant failure, gaps between

implant and bone, and deep, untreatable infection.

Blood Clot Testing DevicesPatients who take anticoagulants need to test their

ability for blood clotting. This is accomplished

through INR tests, many of which can be taken at

home. Some manufacturers of INR tests have

produced products that do not give accurate results,

placing patients at risk for severe bleeding.

IVC FiltersDefective IVC filters will fail to stop a blood clot from

entering the bloodstream. When this happens, risks

for deep vein thrombosis increase significantly.

What’s more, faulty IVC filters can migrate or

fracture, increasing risks for infection, organ

perforation, and other potentially fatal complications.

Yaz, Yasmin, and OcellaBirth control pills that have also been marketed as

treatments for premenstrual dysphoric disorder, Yaz,

Yasmin, and Ocella have all been linked to increased

risks for renal failure, heart attack and stroke,

pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrhythmia, and other

deadly side-effects. Despite these documented risks,

Bayer, the company that manufactures these

medications, continues to aggressively market them.
