Recent Cases in Los Angeles
We are currently reviewing claims throughout Los Angeles relating to the following pharmaceuticals and medical devices:
- Zofran
- Xarelto
- Morcellators
- Vaginal Mesh
Los Angeles Zofran Lawyer - The FDA approved Zofran (ondansetron) to treat nausea in patients following surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Since 1998, however, the manufacturer is believed to have promoted the drug "off label" to treat morning sickness in pregnant women. Evidence now shows a higher incidence of birth defects in newborns whose mothers used Zofran during pregnancy.
Birth defects associated with Zofran include atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), heart murmer, craniosynostosis, gastroschisis, and other congenital malformations.
To file a Zofran lawsuit in Los Angeles, we invite you to contact our office for a confidential review of your case. All consultations are provided at no cost and with no obligation to pursue a claim.
Los Angeles Xarelto Lawyer - The blood thinner Xarelto (rivaroxaban) has been linked to severe internal bleeding injuries. Since Xarelto bleeding events have no means of reversal once they occur, these injuries are often life-threatening. Specific side effects include gastrointestinal bleed, intracranial hemorrhage, and stroke.
Evidence suggests the manufacturer of Xarelto failed to properly disclose significant safety concerns while at the same time promoting the drug as superior to other blood thinners such as Warfarin.
If you have questions about filing a Xarelto lawsuit in Los Angeles, contact our experienced drug injury lawyers for a free and confidential review of your case.
Los Angeles Morcellators Lawyer - Power morcellators are surgical tools used to remove uterine fibroids. The devices are known to spread uterine cancer in some patients, yet most women were never warned of the potential risk before surgery. In November 2014, the FDA issued nationwide safety warnings about the cancer-spreading risk of power morcellators and advised against use of the devices in almost all cases.
Lawsuits are now underway to compensate women diagnosed with advanced stage cancer following laparoscopic myomectomy or hysterectomy procedures that involved morcellation.
If you have questions about filing a morcellators lawsuit in Los Angeles, we invite you to consult our experienced medical device attorneys at no cost.
Los Angeles Vaginal Mesh Lawyer - In April 2014, the FDA issued safety warnings to Los Angeles and other U.S. consumers about serious health risks associated with vaginal mesh implants.
Vaginal mesh has been widely used in surgical procedures to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). But a growing number of women report serious complications such as erosion, perforation of organs, pain with intercourse, recurrent prolapse, and multiple revision surgeries.
Over 70,000 women have filed lawsuits against the device manufacturers, with settlement negotiations now underway. If you have questions about filing a vaginal mesh lawsuit in Los Angeles, we invite you to contact our firm at (866) 808-2424 or online for a free and confidential evaluation of your case.
About Los Angeles Drug & Device Recalls
With significant profits at stake, pharmaceutical companies do not always recall defective products from the healthcare market. Manufacturers may choose instead to conduct a prolonged safety analysis or quietly transition sales to the company’s alternative offerings. In the meantime, however, defective drugs and devices can remain on the market for years and expose Los Angeles patients to ongoing and unnecessary risks. While the FDA can require a manufacturer to issue a recall or heightened safety warnings, these measures often come too late for many victims.

Our law firm represents all drug and medical device injury clients in Los Angeles on a no-fee, contingency basis. This means we do not charge you any out-of-pocket legal fees or expenses during your case. Instead, we recover our costs only as a percentage of any favorable settlement or judgment we obtain at the conclusion of your lawsuit.
