Cold Therapy Nerve Damage
“Cold therapy” devices, often used by patients following surgical procedures and joint injuries, have been linked to serious skin damage, nerve damage, and extreme, permanent pain in some users. Cold therapy (sometimes referred to as “cryo therapy”) devices are used to minimize swelling resulting from surgery by cooling the inflamed or swollen area of the body.
Fentanyl Pain Patch
Painkiller patches containing the highly potent drug fentanyl have been recalled because of a manufacturing defect that could result in fatal overdoses for some users. If someone you care about used a pain patch and died of a fentanyl overdose, our law firm would like to speak with you.
CNN Reveals: Why a Lawyer?
On February 7, 2007, CNN investigative reporters revealed damning evidence against major insurance companies, such as State Farm and Allstate, which are profiting billions of dollars by underpaying injured car accident victims. The money these insurance companies are denying car accident victims would otherwise go toward doctor visits, lost wages, and rehabilitation. However, new strategies adopted by insurance companies have them making take-it-or-leave-it payout offers that in many cases don’t even cover a fraction of the victims’ expenses.
Hernia Patch Danger
The Bard® Composix® Kugel™ Mesh Patch is used to repair ventral (incisional) hernias. Incisional hernias are usually caused by the thinning or stretching of scar tissue that forms after surgery. A hernia occurs when part of an internal organ pushes through an opening in the organ's wall and often presents itself as a painful lump in the abdomen or groin. These patches may break and cause serious harm.
MRI Dye (NSF)
MRI dye linked to fatal skin disease
A dye used in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) scans has been linked to a rare and potentially fatal skin disease in some users (1).
The problem stems from the metal gadolinium found in the dyes injected into some patients before MRI scans and all patients before MRA scans.
Reglan®
Reglan is a drug prescribed to treat a variety of symptoms, including heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite in some patients. Reglan's chemical name is metoclopramide and its use has been linked to the development of a severe neurological disorder known as tardive dyskinesia (tahr-div dis-ki-nee-zhuh).
