Recall Lawsuit | Product Liability Lawyers

Defective Product Lawsuit

Our law firm helps people who are critically injured by unsafe products. In some of our cases, the product has been recalled, but a recall is not necessary before we file a lawsuit and win a settlement.

A grieving mother hired us when her little one died while in a baby sling. She thought, correctly, that the cause of her baby’s death was the sling, that the design of the sling caused her infant’s face to roll into the fabric, preventing him from breathing.

Attorneys at Pritzker Hageman took the case. Our legal team contacted the federal government about this product and urged the department to force a recall. After only a few weeks, a recall was issued. Our attorneys could have just filed a lawsuit, gotten a settlement and moved on, but we made sure that this product was taken off of the market. This is what we do. We work to get maximum compensation and justice for people injured by defective products and we strive to force needed changes that will protect public safety.

In another case, a medical product was recalled because it could fatally sicken newborns, although the exact cause of the illnesses was not determined. After receiving many calls from parents, our law firm hired experts to find the cause. A renowned professor on the expert team we assembled did an in-depth study of these illnesses and how the product could have caused them. His research was published in a medical journal and our attorneys were able to use that research to win millions in compensation for our injured infant clients and their parents.

While many people might not consider tainted food to be a defective product, it most certainly is. Food is supposed to be safe to eat! In one of our legal cases, a young man consumed food contaminated with a deadly bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes. After a few weeks, the bacteria had traveled to his brain and infected the meninges, the lining of the brain and spinal cord. The sickness this caused is called meningitis, and this young man almost died from it. He contacted our law firm, and our attorneys quickly flew out to meet with him and his family. They found out that, before he got sick, he had eaten a product that had been recalled due to possible Listeria contamination. They pursued a settlement from the company that made the product and won millions in compensation. This money will make a huge difference in being able to deal with the ongoing health consequences that can occur with a Listeria infection.

Our lawyers have won millions for clients injured by defective and dangerous products, including the following 3 recoveries (read about our top cases):

• $45 million for clients who got kidney failure after using an over-the-counter medicine;
• $10 million for babies who contracted a mysterious illness after ingesting a medical product that was later recalled;
• $4.5 million for a client who ate at a restaurant and ended up in the hospital on dialysis due to kidney failure caused by an E. coli infection.

You can ask our product liability lawyers if you have a personal injury or wrongful death claim against a company that sold a defective product.

A Recall Lawsuit Seeks Compensation for Harm from a Defective Product

A recall lawsuit involves personal injury or wrongful death caused by a defective product, one that is not reasonably safe for its intended use. “Intended use” includes all those uses a reasonably prudent person might make, bearing in mind its characteristics, warnings and labels. In many of our recall cases, the company was prompted to act by reports of personal injury or wrongful death. However, on many occasions it has been our attorney’s actions that finally led to a company issuing a recall.

Federal agencies involved may include:

• FDA Recalls: Medical and food;
• USDA-FSIS Recalls: Meat and poultry;
• CPSC Recalls: Consumer.

Most people do not know that the federal government can’t recall products, the agencies above can only urge companies to recall unsafe products. If that does not work, they can take legal steps to force a recall, but it is a slow process.

Just because a product is sold does not mean it is safe.

You may have a  lawsuit against the manufacturer of the defective product, the wholesaler or distributor of the product, and often the retailer of the product. These suits involve one or more of the following:

• a bad design that puts consumers at risk of injury or wrongful death;
• a problem with the manufacturing process, either in general or for certain lots (manufacturing runs);
• a label with no warning about this particular risk of injury;
• instructions that do not address the risk and/or how to prevent harm.

Thousands of people receive injuries from recalled items each year. The makers of these unsafe products should be held responsible because that is what is fair. We make sure that happens and work to get settlement money for the following:

• all related medical expenses, even those that are expected in the future;
• income lost because the person has to get a lower paying job or can’t work;
• compensation for pain, emotional suffering, disability, disfigurement, and loss of quality of life.

In situations where company executives and/or managers have behaved very badly, we seek “punitive damages” for our clients, which means that we ask for an additional, large amount of money to punish the company for the intentional or reckless behavior.

What to Do If You or a Loved One Has Been Injured

If you have been injured here are some things to consider:

• Save or retain the suspected item and any documents or packaging that accompanied it.
• Identify as much information about the product as possible including the name of the manufacturer, model name and number, place and date of purchase, and serial number.
• Store it in a safe place and do not modify or change it.
• Obtain the name, address, and telephone number of any witnesses.
• Do not discuss the case with anyone and do not give any written or recorded statements about it.

Entrapment can also occur when the child is not properly restrained in the stroller’s front seat using all five points of the harness.

Baby Trend received one report of a 14-month-old child who died of asphyxiation when their neck became trapped between the front of the canopy tube and the armrest.

FDA Warns Caregivers Against Using Inflatable Neck Floats After Baby Dies, Another Hospitalized

The FDA issued a warning for caregivers not to use inflatable neck floats with babies for water therapy after one baby died and another was hospitalized.

Risks associated with using the neck floats include drowning, suffocation, and neck injuries. Babies with developmental delays or special needs such as spina bifida, SMA type 1, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy have an increased risk of serious injury or death.

The neck floats are not FDA approved. Some companies have marketed their products for babies as young as two weeks old.

Caregivers have used neck floats during a baby’s bath, while a baby is swimming, and as a water therapy tool. The FDA has received reports of at least one death and one hospitalization associated with using neck floats.

The FDA’s recommendations for caregivers include the following:

• Do not use inflatable neck floats as a physical therapy tool for babies.
• Be aware that using neck floats as a floatation device for babies with special needs can lead to an increased risk of serious injury or death.
• Be aware that baby neck floats are not FDA approved.
• If a neck float has injured a baby in your care, report the incident to the FDA.

Medtronic Recalls HVAD Pump Implant Kit For Pump Weld Defect

Medtronic recalled 1,614 HVAD pump implant kits after a pump weld defect caused one death and two injuries.

Patients with the recalled devices may have symptoms that resemble pump thrombosis, including fatigue, dark urine, and yellowed eyes. The pump weld defect may lead to pump malfunction, major surgery for pump replacement, severe organ dysfunction, stroke, and death.
