The Food and Drug Administration has initiated a recall of dialysis machines made by Baxter International. This recall is classified as Class 1, meaning the consequences of these machines' malfunctions can be "serious adverse health consequences or death." So far, no injuries have been reported. Baxter International is currently searching for the source of the malfunction.
Product manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure that their products do not endanger the people who use them. This is especially important in medical equipment, as it is only used when the user is at some risk for health problems already. When product manufacturers neglect this responsibility, victims injured by their products may wish to file a lawsuit. Unfortunately, this is never easy. I have worked on product liability cases involving medical products for twenty years, and I have seen companies go to extraordinary lengths to avoid being held responsible for an accident. But ultimately, the law is on your side, and with the help of a Dallas pro bono lawyer, you can be sure that those responsible for your injuries are brought to justice.

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
