Product Recalls Can Lead To Safer And Longer Lifespans

Medical malpractice is considered as one of the leading causes of death around the world. There is however another reason which are often not taken into consideration and that is the food and drug that the patient take.

Product Recall - Defined

We often have encountered news which shows the FDA recalling certain products but do we really understand the effects of these recalls? A recall is made when the FDA or the manufacturer determine that the product pose a serious risk to the public's health and well-being. Some manufacturers would voluntary recall their products whereas others are required by the FDA to remove their products in the market. Although some recalls might not have adverse health effect, here are other reasons why recalls are made.

Product Modification. Some manufacturers would recall the product to correct and enhance their product and sold it after the alteration.  There are some products that the company would destroy or alter to ensure that it complies with the FDA regulation.

For Market Withdrawal. A market withdrawal of the product though would indicate that the product have violated certain rules and regulations and are therefore required by law to remove the stocks in the market. This violation however is not subject to legal action by the FDA.

Health Risk. The recall is based on risk to the public health and as such is eligible for legal recourse from the FDA and the public.  The "risk to health" means that  the product can cause adverse reactions to the person, which can lead to temporary or serious health problems that might even lead to death. Some companies who are aware of these repercussions open themselves to GranuFlo lawsuit.

One such example is a popular formula use by dialysis patients. The centers were unaware of the serious effects of the drug including sudden death, stroke and myocardial infraction.  The manufacturer were only able to advise one health care provider and failed to inform other centers and medical establishment about the potential health hazards.

Filling a Product Lawsuit

For those who have suffered adverse reactions to drugs or thought that the drugs contributed to their ailments, can file a complaint against the manufacture. A recall is not required when the lawsuit is filed however a recall can reinforce the credibility of the case. Although this is not an assurance that the plaintiff will win the case. There is a time limit on the filing of the case so it is important to check the Statute of Limitation of each state.

If you are intending to file a GranuFlo recall medical lawsuit it is important that you hire an attorney that specializes in this type of case. This would help you understand the laws governing the suit and what recourse you need to take.
