Actos- Actos is a Type-2 diabetes medication which was designed to lower blood glucose levels in order to allow patients to have increased sensitivity to insulin.  Recently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) issued a warning to patients that if Actos is taken for more than one year it could greatly increase the risk of bladder cancer or heart attacks. 

Transvaginal Mesh- Transvaginal Mesh is used in the repair of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). The FDA has received over 1,000 reports from numerous manufacturers regarding the severe health complications related to the use of this transvaginal placement of surgical mesh.  

DePuy Hip Replacement Recalls- Depuy Orthopaedics recalled two (2) hip replacement devices in August of 2010 after discovering the devices were likely to fail within five (5) years of placement. Amazingly, the recall occurred a few months after the company announced it was phasing out the two (2) devices due to low sales. Due to these defective products, numerous patients have required additional hip replacement surgeries to correct issues associated with these devices.

Asbestos- Mesothelioma is a rare cancer caused by exposure to asbestos which does not manifest itself for many years after the exposure. For years companies who used asbestos studied the health effects of exposure to its employees, knew of its dangers and consciously chose to hide their findings in order to maximize their profits.
