Faulty talcum powder has been linked to ovarian cancer while defective Galaxy Note 7 phones caused fires. Takata airbags injured over 200 people and killed 11 due to expelling shrapnel. GM ignition switches left 124 dead and hundreds injured despite GM's knowledge of the issue. Hernia mesh and various hip and knee implants have caused infections, pain, and other complications. Blood clot testing devices and IVC filters also pose risks if defective. Birth control pills like Yaz and Yasmin increased health risks but aggressive marketing continued. The document concludes by offering free legal consultations for injuries from defective products.

2. Talcum Powder
Used 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.

3. Galaxy Note 7
The 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.

4. 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.

5. GM Ignition Switches
Faulty 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.

6. Hernia Mesh
Used 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.

7. Hip Implants
Problems 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.

8. Knee Implants
Like 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.

9. Blood Clot Testing Devices
Patients 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.

10. IVC Filters
Defective 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.

11. Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella
Birth 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.

12. No matter if you have been injured by a defective
vehicle, a dangerous medication, or a faulty
medical device, you are entitled to hold the
responsible party accountable a seek
compensation well in excess of the paltry
offerings of insurance companies. Call our
