Product Recalls And Lawsuit Funding

A dangerous or defective product is one that does not meet standards that we can reasonably expect. Sometimes manufacturers are aware of the fault but fail to recall them in time, some products are poorly designed or the result of a manufacturing flaw. Some manufacturers fail to carry out adequate checks. When situations like this occur, they often lead to serious personal injuries or deaths.

Several recalls were announced last week, including two expansions on prior recalls.\

Dräger Medical expanded a prior recall on ventilators used in hospitals as well as during patient transport. The Evita V500 Ventilator provides constant breathing support for adults and children, including premature babies weighing at least 14 ounces. The Babylog VN500 provides constant breathing support for premature babies weighing at least 14 ounces. Both ventilators are used in hospitals or during patient transport. In December 2015, Dräger recalled the PS500 battery power supply because a software issue causes shorter than expected battery run times. It also prevents the appropriate alarm from sounding 5 minutes before the battery runs out of power and the device shuts down. If the ventilator shuts down, a patient may not receive necessary oxygen which could cause patient injury or death. The FDA classified it as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Last week the company expanded the recall to include the PS500 Optional Power Supply units that were updated with new software as part of the December recall. The company updated its software to elongate the battery life of the ventilators, but the new software did not fix the problem. Dräger Medical will now replace all affected PS500 power supply units. The recall affects 2,501 units across the U.S.

Toyota announced it is adding the 2008 Toyota Corolla, 2008 Toyota Matrix (also called the Toyota Corolla Matrix), and the 2008-2010 Lexus SC430 to its list of recalled models due to involvement of Takata airbags. An additional 198,000 vehicles were pulled this week.

Manufacturers and retailers are responsible for taking reasonable steps to make sure that the products they make and sell are as safe as possible. When an unsafe product causes serious harm or death, a “products liability” suit may be appropriate. This area of litigation is specialized, and can take years to settle. In order to secure damages, an attorney must prove that the product contained inherent design defects, was badly manufactured or assembled, or built in such a way that safety features could fail or be dismantled. Manufacturers can also be held liable for failure to warn consumers of potential harm from the product’s intended use or likely use. In the meantime, manufacturers and retailers will go to great lengths to defend their products, even when the dangers they caused are undeniable and could easily have been avoided.
