Compensation for vaginal mesh problems
We’re representing victims claiming compensation for vaginal mesh problems. With some women suffering with lifelong problems, legal action is important.
We’ve been helping with legal advice for vaginal mesh problems for a number of years now. Some of the cases that arise from dangerous mesh implants are high-value cases because of the severity of the problems women are suffering.
It’s important to seek advice and representation from specialist lawyers. Our primary focus as a firm is group action cases, which is why our expertise is important for people to recognise.
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.
Risperdal compensation deal agreed ahead of trial
A Risperdal compensation deal has been agreed ahead of a trial. This is said to be one of many potentially multi-million-pound settlements over the drug.
Some users who have been taking Risperdal medication have suffered severe side-effects. The use of the drug has also been involved in off-label marketing; i.e. using the drug for alternative reasons than what regulators have approved the drug for.
Off-label marketing can be a real problem for consumers. When pharmaceutical giants see slow sales in particular products, they can be tempted to repackage them and sell them for different uses. Sometimes this isn’t a bad thing, but when the drug isn’t approved for certain uses, and where certain side-effects are prominent in off-label uses, people can suffer.

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.

The latest talcum powder asbestos trial
One of the latest talcum powder asbestos trial cases is underway as a 94-year-old lady is claiming that her fatal mesothelioma was caused by talc.
This is one of the many cases being pursued in an action where millions of pounds have been awarded to victims who have successfully claimed that their deadly asbestos-related illnesses have been caused by talcum powder containing the deadly substance.
The talcum powder asbestos action is one of the biggest medical product issues of our time, and it could be set to go on for a number of years.
A troubling testimony in the Gosport War Memorial Hospital deaths
A troubling testimony in the Gosport War Memorial Hospital deaths has been recounted in the recent independent inquiry that deemed some 450 deaths at the hospital were linked to an unsafe opioid-use policy.
Families who have been fighting for an inquiry for years have finally received the news that they say they knew all along: that their loved-ones died in the hospital prematurely.
At the centre of the Gosport War Memorial Hospital deaths scandal is Dr Jane Barton; the GP stationed there who claims that she was only ever doing the best for her patients. One particularly troubling testimony from 2001 that was recounted in the independent report paints a different story entirely.
Johnson & Johnson talcum powder and cancer link investigations to begin in the UK
The latest Johnson & Johnson talcum powder cancer trial in the US has concluded with the victim awarded $40m in damages.
The Claimant alleged that his mesothelioma – an aggressive and incurable cancer – was caused by long-term use of J & J talc. In light of key expert evidence that indicated there can be trace amounts of asbestos contained in talcum powder, he has won his case.
There are currently thousands of similar lawsuits in the US, and our Group Action Lawyers are ready to investigate UK cases also.
