Defective Medical Devices & Consumer Products

Experienced Defective Medical Device Lawyers

Advances in medical technology produce new products every year. Many of these medical devices save lives; others do more harm than good. Even proven medical devices can fail as a result of improper manufacture or sub-standard materials. There are so many medical devices that have the potential to cause serious injuries that the Food and Drug Administration has set up a Med Watch Web-site to report problems with products regulated by the FDA.

The attorneys at Holman Schiavone, LLC, in Kansas City, Missouri, have the experience and resources to effectively manage complex litigation involving medical device failures. There are typically two causes of medical device failures: design defects or manufacture defect. In the case of design defects, a product is inherently dangerous. Often these products are approved by the FDA based on faulty or incomplete testing data. Manufacture defects involve products produced using substandard material or improper manufacturing techniques.
