Patients Pursuing Justice: Bard PowerPort Lawsuit Update
Apr 13, 2024
Clearwater, Florida – In light of the growing number of patients experiencing severe complications from defective Bard PowerPort devices, Lawsuit Legal News (LLN) is committed to providing up-to-date information on the Bard PowerPort Lawsuit progress. As a leading legal news source, LLN aims to inform patients about litigation developments, court proceedings, and potential settlements regarding these critical medical devices.
Understanding the Bard PowerPort Lawsuit
Patients undergoing extensive medical treatments often require the implantation of a port catheter to facilitate routine blood draws, blood transfusions, and the administration of medications and intravenous fluids. Unfortunately, numerous patients who received fluids through defective port catheters manufactured by Bard Access Systems, a subsidiary of Becton, Dickinson, and Company, are now pursuing product liability lawsuits against the company.
A common theme among these lawsuits is the assertion that Bard PowerPort devices have critical design flaws, leading to deterioration or migration within the body. As a result, patients have suffered life-threatening injuries, including perforations of organs and blood vessels, due to these defective devices.
The pending lawsuits allege that Bard was aware of the risks associated with migration and infection, along with other severe injuries, yet failed to warn patients and the medical community adequately. Patients are seeking financial compensation for their damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Recent Updates in the Bard PowerPort MDL
As of April 2, 2024, the Bard PowerPort MDL continues to grow slowly, with 10 new cases joining the MDL in the past 30 days. While the number of potential plaintiffs remains relatively limited compared to other defective product mass tort cases, the ongoing litigation underscores the importance of holding Bard accountable for the harm caused by its defective devices.
