Defective Products and Product Recall Attorneys

New products are introduced to the market everyday in the United States, most of which have been scrutiny tested and analyzed by professionals to determine any dangers they may pose. Unfortunately, some potential dangers slip through the cracks and can possibly harm the consumer. A product is defective, unreasonably dangerous to the user, when it has a propensity or tendency for causing physical harm beyond that which would be contemplated by the ordinary user, having ordinary knowledge of the product's characteristics commonly known to the foreseeable class of persons who would normally use the product. In cases involving defective products, the manufacturer may be liable for injuries even though you may find that it exercised all reasonable care in the design, manufacture, and potentially deceptive marketing of the product.

The attorneys at Atkins & Markoff have years of experience handling national defective products cases. The firm has always been actively involved in publicizing potentially dangerous products. The partners and the firms clients have been interviewed on CNN, The CBS Evening News, Cosmopolitan Magazine, The Daily Oklahoman and local television stations throughout Oklahoma.

• Baxter HomeChoice Dialysis System

  Consumers with kidney problems often rely on kidney dialysis machines to keep their kidneys functioning properly. Baxter HomeChoice and HomeChoice PRO kidney dialysis systems were designed to do just that. However, patients soon began to experience a few negative side effects from using the dialysis system, later found to be signs of Increased Intraperitoneal Volume, a dangerous and possibly fatal condition. If you are using the Baxter HomeChoice Dialysis System and experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, vomiting, or hypertension, contact a medical professional immediately and consult one of our Oklahoma City defective product attorneys.

• Fentanyl Pain Patch Defects and Injuries

  The fentanyl pain patch was developed to deliver controlled doses of high-potency pain medication to a specific affected area of the body. This method is usually turned to when patients developed a higher tolerance to lesser pain medications. However, due to manufacturing defects, the fentanyl pain patch began to deliver too much medication and some patients experienced overdose, some with fatal consequences. If you have experienced harmful side effects from this type of pain medication, contact our Oklahoma attorneys.

• Duragesic Patch Manufacturer Defect Attorneys

  The Duragesic Patch is intended for use by those suffering from pain by affixing the patch to the painful region of the body and emitting a pain medication. Due to a manufacturing problem, higher amounts of pain medication have leaked into patients' skin leading improper pain control and possible overdose. Serious complications from an overdose in pain medication can include drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea; which can lead to coma and possibly death. The FDA announced a recall of the Duragesic Patch in 2004 as a result of these serious potential dangers. If you or a loved one has been injured by the use of the Duragesic Patch, compensation may be available. Contact one of our experienced defective product attorneys today.
