A product recall refers to the procedure of removing a hazardous product or device from the market. To remain available for sale or use in hospitals in the United States, products and devices must meet specific safety standards. When a product is identified as unsafe, it may lead to a nationwide recall. The FDA classifies recalls based on potential safety risks to the device users.
Individuals who have suffered injuries due to a defective product or device are eligible to file a claim, regardless of whether their injuries occurred before or after a recall. While not all hernia mesh devices have been subject to a recall, this will not hinder us from pursuing your case with determination and commitment.
