Dangerous Products in Virginia

Prescriptions, medical devices and other household items

When products are found to cause serious injury or death to consumers, manufacturing companies issue recalls. However, hundreds or even thousands of people are often severely hurt before the dangerous products are identified and removed from store shelves. A product recall does not remove your right to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries. In fact, most products liability cases begin after a recall has been issued. The Serious Injury Law Center has handled dozens of product injury claims, and often refers the cases to trusted colleagues in the Hampton Roads region.

Harmful pharmaceuticals

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) instructs manufacturers to stop selling medicines that cause injury and even death. However, such products can remain on the market for months or even years before their danger is discovered. You need the help of an experienced product injury lawyer if you have been hurt by a recalled prescription drug such as—

  • Vioxx
  • Bextra
  • Celebrex
  • Arcoxia
  • Lipitor
  • Meridia
  • Accutane
  • Mobic

The Serious Injury Law Center may handle your drug injury case as an individual lawsuit, or the firm may direct you to an appropriate class action in which a group of injured people seek collective compensation.

Unsafe medical devices

Devices intended to improve your health can have a devastating effect on your well-being when they are improperly designed or constructed. In recent years, recalled medical devices have included—

  • Hip replacement implants
  • Infusion pumps
  • Coronary cathethers
  • Vision lasers
  • Infant warmers
  • Defibrillators

The Serious Injury Law Center knows how to assess the value of your medical product claim and get you fairly compensated for your injuries.

Dangerous toys

In 2010 alone, Fisher Price recalled a variety of dangerous products totaling more than 10 million toys. Children received injuries including lacerations and genital damage. Some toys posed the risk of suffocation death. Recalled children’s items have included—

  • Inflatable balls
  • High chairs
  • Cribs

The Serious Injury Law Center helps you file a lawsuit or join a class action when your child has been seriously injured or killed by a recalled product.
