  New Cases Emerge from FDA findings

  Recent findings from the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) have been leading to new types of cases across the country. Three specific types of cases brought to Tabor Law’s attention include Transvaginal Mesh & Bladder slings, Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacement Parts, and Actos, a medication used to treat diabetes.

  The FDA is also now warning doctors and patients about the placement of surgical mesh (transvaginal mesh/bladder sling) through the vagina to treat pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence may present a greater risk to the patient than other types of treatment. The FDA has reported multiple complications with surgical mesh, and has now issued a warning to doctors.

  Metal-on-Metal hip replacement parts have been ordered into review as well by the FDA due to problems including: loosening, fracturing, and dislocating of the device.

  Actos, a drug usually prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes, now has a new label mandated by the FDA stating that using the drop for more than one year may be associated with increased risk of bladder cancer. Following these findings, France & German heath officials have now banned Actos.

  These are just several recent findings from the FDA which have led to lawsuits across the country. If you or a loved one have experienced difficulty with any of the treatments mentioned above, contact Tabor for a free consultation.
