Defective Products Lawyer

Product liability claims have become more common as mass marketing, production, and distribution have made it easier for businesses to sell defective products worldwide. Protect yourself from these dangerous products with a defective products lawyer that knows product liability law.

Product liability claims include, though may not be limited to, serious injury or death resulting from asbestos products, cigarettes and tobacco products, SUV, automobile and recreational vehicle defects, defective tires, child’s toys, pet food and other consumer products, bad medication and defective medical devices (ie: Medtronic Defibrillator Lead, Duragesic Pain Patch Recall and Kugel Hernia Mesh Patch).

Bringing a claim for product liability or defective product can and often involves extensive resources. Due to the time and expense required to handle this type lawsuit, the attorneys at The Crosley Law Firm carefully evaluate each case and are only able to pursue those involving serious injury, paralysis, or death.

It makes headline news on a regular basis because of serious injury or fatality. Modern medications, medical equipment, and implants (of all types) can greatly improve our health and quality of life. However, taking bad medication, using defective equipment to treat you, or having a hazardous or defective implant put into you can cause serious injury or death.

Some Bad Drugs listed by the FDA as potentially hazardous include:

  • Avandia (Rosiglitazone Maleate)
  • Prozac (fluoxetine)
  • Vioxx, Zoloft (sertraline)
  • Paxil (paroxetine)
  • Luvox (fluvoxamine)
  • Celexa (citalopram)
  • Lexapro (escitalopram)
  • Wellbutrin (bupropion)
  • Effexor (venlafaxine)
  • Serzone (nefazodone)
  • Remeron (mirtazapine)
  • Remicade

Duragesic Patch & Fentanyl Duragesic Recall

On February 17, 2004, Janssen Pharmaceutica Products LP (Janssen), with the approval of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), issued a Class I Recall of all units of its 75mcg/hr Duragesic product bearing a specific lot number. On April 5, 2004, Janssen issued another urgent recall to include additional lot numbers that also may have contained defective Duragesic patches. That product is manufactured for Janssen by Alza Corporation (Alza). Both Janssen and Alza are wholly owned subsidiary companies of Johnson & Johnson. Duragesic, known as a pain patch, is an adhesive patch applied to the skin, which is intended to deliver a steady dose of a powerful opioid pain medication (fentanyl) through the skin over an extended time to persons suffering from chronic and/or debilitating pain.

The fentanyl recall itself applies only to specific manufacturing lots of the 75mcg strength product, which (according to recall notices) were designed with a faulty seal, permitting full strength fentanyl to leak from the patch delivery system. If leakage occurs while the patch is on the skin, patients may potentially suffer an overdose of fentanyl, which can result in fatal respiratory and/or cardiac arrest, or other serious physical reactions.

The Duragesic Patch litigation, in which the Crosley Law Firm has taken a leading role, involves recalled patches and other Duragesic patches that are suspected of leaking fentanyl, thereby leading to the death or serious injury of our clients due to fentanyl toxicity. This may lead to a Duragesic lawsuit.

The recall product is identified by the following NDC and Lot Numbers:

NDC Number: 50458-035-05;

Lot Control Numbers: 0327192, 0327193, 0327294, 0327295, and 0330362.

If you or a loved one has suffered catastrophic injury or death, which you believe is related to use of a defective Duragesic patch, contact the Tom Crosley Law Firm by calling toll free 1-877-535-4529, complete the contact form or e-mail us for a FREE, NO COST, NO OBLIGATION CONSULTATION.
