Hernia mesh lawsuit UK
We’re taking on claims for those who need to launch a hernia mesh lawsuit UK case. We’re already acting for a number of victims, and anyone who has yet to start their claim is being urged to speak to us as soon as they can.
We can tell you from years of experience that medical product claims can be complicated. In one medical product group action alone, we’ve recovered over £1.3m damages (and counting); so, you know you can trust our advice.
One of the major issues is the limitation periods that can apply to these types of claims. There can be more than one, and plenty of people end up missing deadlines in lawsuits. Missing those deadlines can cost Claimants literally tens of thousands of pounds in unrecoverable compensation. It’s important to act fact!
The Gatwick drone incident raises legal questions
The Gatwick drone incident that has brought one of the UK’s biggest airports to a complete standstill this week raises big legal questions.
We’ve written before about the use of smart technology and how it can be dangerous. Although the Gatwick drones appear to be high-tech and are being used as part of what appears to be a deliberate ploy, everyday drones can be dangerous. It’s those drones that can be easily bought online or on the high street that raise the legal questions as well.
If something happens, where’s the liability? Where’s the insurance? What do we need to do to ensure people are protected?
Valsartan recall widens
The Valsartan recall widened last month following updated advice from the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA).
Batches of products containing Valsartan that were supplied by Teva UK Ltd and Mylan are being recalled in the UK. This follows on from a drug alert earlier this year that was issued after the discovery that some Valsartan products were contaminated. Legal cases are already underway, and this latest recall involves further batches of the product.
An immediate suspension and quarantine of the additional affected products has been ordered.
Were you affected by the cough syrup mould recall?
Were you affected by the cough syrup mould issues that came to light over summer? In the midst of the season for colds and coughs, you may want to take heed of this warning if you’re not aware of it already.
Over summer, a formal recall was issued with the UK’s medicines regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. This was a Class 2 Medicines recall for own-brand glycerine and blackcurrant cough syrup products manufactured for children by Bell, Sons & Co.
As these are marketed as own-brand products, it’s the likes of Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco at the centre of this recall.
Dangerous vitamin and mineral supplements
Are vitamin and mineral supplements pointless and potentially dangerous? Some experts think they are. What does this mean for users?
An American study claims that some vitamin and mineral supplements don’t provide for any health benefits to the user at all. Worse still, their research also suggested that some may actually increase the risks of death. Some may also be problematic for people with particular conditions, like diabetes.
In an age where health and beauty are important, are being people ripped off? Are some people even being put in danger?
Bone cement complications from product recall
A regulator warning earlier this year stemmed from bone cement complications caused by an issue with the product itself.
A risk of the need for revision surgery from the use of Optipac 40 Refobacin Revision and Optipac 80 Refobacin Revision was identified. Manufacturer, Biomet UK Limited, issued a Field Safety Notice at the end of last year. The UK’s medical regulator, the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), issued their own recall advice off the back of the findings.
Anyone who has suffered with bone cement complications may find the reason is to do with the product itself as opposed to failed surgery.
The Roundup weed killer cancer lawsuit
The Roundup weed killer cancer lawsuit alleges that the product can be carcinogenic. The ingredient at the heart of the case is glyphosate.
Although makers of Roundup, Monsanto, are fiercely defending the hundreds of claims brought against them, a claim has settled to the tune of over £200m. Monsanto say there is no viable evidence that glyphosate causes cancer. The common herbicide is found in many household and farming products.
The Roundup weed killer cancer lawsuits allege that glyphosate is carcinogenic. Opinions remain divided.

Breast implants cancer reporting intensifies
There has been an intensification in the need for breast implants cancer reporting. This stems from a greater focus on identifying links between implants and certain types of cancer.
We know all too well about the problems that breast implants can caused. We’re still battling for justice for women affected by the PIP Breast Implant scandal. We’ve already recovered over £1.3m in damages, and we continue to fight for UK victims here and in France.
Regulators continue to investigate links between breast implants and rare forms of cancer. Both clinicians and patients are being asked to be aware of the need to take precautions and report adverse incidents.

A large number of vaginal mesh lawsuits are already being pursued, and if you need advice for starting yours, you can contact the team for advice today.
Thousands of women have reported suffering from mesh implant complications, and the UK has been slow to take real action to safeguard women and ensure compensation is awarded for victims who are now suffering.
Some of the problems people can suffer from can be irreversible, so it’s important for anyone suffering with complications to start their vaginal mesh lawsuit as soon as they can; especially given that time limitations for new cases can be tricky.
Latanoprost Timolol eye drops recall
A Latanoprost Timolol eye drops recall has been announced by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA).
The company behind the eye drops, FDC Pharma, are recalling a batch due to what has been classed as an ‘out of specification result for an unknown impurity’ that was identified during testing. Medical professionals are to stop providing the eye drops to patients, and suppliers and distributors are to cease moving the eye drops as well.
The NHS has been pushing the news throughout the Service to ensure batches affected by the Latanoprost Timolol eye drops recall are not used.
