Dangerous Drugs and Products

Dangerous drugs and defective products can pose severe risks to consumers, often leading to life-altering injuries, illnesses, or even death. The consequences can be devastating when medications, medical devices, or everyday products are used or consumed by the public without proper testing or warning of potential side effects. From harmful pharmaceuticals to faulty medical devices and unsafe consumer goods, individuals who suffer due to these hazards deserve justice and compensation. Our firm is dedicated to holding negligent manufacturers accountable and helping victims navigate complex legal claims to secure the compensation they deserve.

Some of the dangerous drugs and products we handle for clients who have suffered injuries include:

Talc

Once associated with the image of babies—pure, fresh, and soothing—talcum powder has long been a popular choice for moisture absorption in infants and adults. Whether used after baths, diaper changes, showers, or workouts, baby powder and body powder have been staples for generations. However, recent headlines have raised concerns about potential health risks tied to talcum powder, including its possible links to ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. These concerns have prompted increased scrutiny and legal action, bringing attention to the safety of talc-based products.

Bard PowerPort Litigation

The Bard PowerPort, a medical implant designed to facilitate the administration of medication and fluids without frequent needle contact, has faced significant backlash as users report injuries and health complications allegedly caused by the device. Numerous patients nationwide have filed lawsuits against Bard Access Systems, C.R. Bard, Becton, and Dickinson & Co., the manufacturers of the Bard PowerPort, seeking compensation for their injuries. Claimants argue that the device's faulty design leads to toxic material leakage and fragmentation, causing severe health issues such as infections, blood clots, organ damage, and even death. Lawsuits contend that despite numerous complaints and adverse event reports, the manufacturer failed to recall or modify the device and deliberately misled the public about its safety.

Chemical Hair Straighteners & Cancer

The use of chemical hair straighteners, a common practice for achieving smooth hair, is now raising concerns about potential health risks, particularly hormone-related cancers such as uterine, ovarian, and endometrial cancer. A 2022 study from the National Institutes of Health associates chemical hair straighteners with hormone-sensitive cancers, revealing the presence of carcinogens and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in these products. EDCs, including benzophenone-3, cyclosiloxanes, and parabens, are linked to adverse health effects such as interference with development, respiratory issues, infertility, and an increased risk of various cancers. Numerous lawsuits are emerging against manufacturers like L’Oreal, Strength of Nature, and Revlon.
