BLOOD CLOT FILTER (IVC) LAWSUITS NOW BEING FILED

In August of 2010, the FDA warned that IVC filters could fracture and migrate to other parts of the body.  The FDA announced that it has received over 900 adverse event reports since 2005 involving IVC filters, including devices manufactured by C.R. Bard.  After the FDA’s safety communication was made public, victims began to file IVC lawsuits against manufacturers Cooke Medical, Inc., and C.R. Bard. 

Our office is presently investigating Inferior Vena Cava filters, more commonly known as IVC Filters or Blood Clot Filters.  These cage-like devices are designed to catch and dissolve clots.  They are surgically inserted in patients who have an increased risk for blood clots and cannot take blood thinners.  The IVC filter works by trapping blood clots before they can travel to vital organs such as lungs or heart and cause life threatening injuries. 

The use of the IVC Filters may cause the following problems:

• The device can fracture;
• The device can move throughout one’s body;
• The device can pierce blood vessels and organs;
• The device can tilt or become irretrievable, among other things.

If you or someone you know has received an IVC Filter, please call our office for a free consultation and case evaluation.  The attorneys at Jim S. Hall & Associates would be privileged to help you and your family get the compensation you deserve. www.callhall.com

TALCUM POWDER (BABY POWDER) OVARIAN CANCER LAWSUITS

Research strongly suggest that when talcum powder is applied to a women’s genital area, it can travel into the vagina through the Fallopian tubes to the ovaries.  These extremely fine talcum powder particles can cause cancer cells to form, grow and spread. In 2016 there were two extremely large jury awards that came from jury trials in the State of Missouri against Johnson & Johnson.

Jim S. Hall & Associates is presently investigating cases related to talcum powder use and ovarian cancer.  Talc is a mineral and is ground up to make talcum powder, which is used to absorb moisture and is widely available in various products including baby powder, body powder and facial powder.

This issue has been researched since the early 1970's. One study suggests that out of 13 ovarian cancer cases, 10 were found to have deeply embedded talc particles.  Manufacturers of talcum powder, including Johnson & Johnson have failed to warn consumers about this danger for a very long time.

Some signs and symptoms and complications of ovarian cancer:

• Abdominal bloating
• Fatigue
• Pressure and pain
• Indigestion
• Abdominal fullness after eating
• Heart burn
• Difficulty eating
• Constipation
• Increase in urination
• Menstrual irregularities
• Increase in urge to urinate
• Menstrual cramps
• Back pain
• Painful intercourse

If you or a loved one has used talcum powder and has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or cancer of the Fallopian tubes, you may have a valuable legal claim.  We would be privileged to help you and your family get the compensation you deserve.

For a free consultation and case evaluation please do not hesitate to call our office.
