Products Liability

Products liability litigation involves defective and unreasonably dangerous products that can kill or injure people. Manufacturers of these products are liable for design defects, improper safety devices and manufacturing defects that cause injury. Product liability cases can involve products such as toys, automobiles, household products, industrial machinery and equipment, farm machinery, products causing explosions or burns, aviation products and medical devices to name just a few.

*** Pain Pump Warning ***

The use of intra-articular pain pumps in shoulder surgeries has been associated with a condition called Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL).  PAGCL is the deterioration of cartilage in the shoulder following such procedures.   An intra-articular pain pump catheter is placed into the shoulder joint during these procedures.  The pain pump remains in the joint for several days to deliver pain medication to the shoulder.

PAGCL is an extremely painful and life-altering condition.  Symptoms of PAGCL include increased shoulder stiffness, popping or grinding when the shoulder is in motion, decrease in range of motion, and a loss of strength in the joint.  PAGCL is usually diagnosed with an x-ray showing the narrowing of the shoulder joint space.  Treatment for this condition is further surgery; however, many patients never regain full use of their shoulder joint.
