The ML Firm is currently representing patients who received the now recalled AccuLIF PL manufactured by Howmedica.

Appellate Lawyer of the Week: Austin Attorney Beats Medtronic’s Preemption Claim in Device Litigation.

The key to most of these claims is the history of the dog.

The FDA recommends that consumers stop using the products marketed by Hyland’s and dispose any that they may have. “The body’s response to belladonna in children under two ...

St. Jude Medical has recalled some of its implanted heart devices due to the risk of premature battery depletion, a condition linked to two deaths in Europe.

St. Jude said 841 devices had been returned to the company for analysis due to premature battery depletion, traced to a build-up of lithium clusters in the batteries. ...
