AngioDynamics Port Catheter Cases

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received hundreds of reports of failure of AngioDynamics port catheters.

The AngioDynamic lawsuits allege that the manufacturer used too much barium sulfate in the port catheters.

FDA Recalls Blood Pressure Pills

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recalled the generic blood pressure drug prazosin because it contains higher than acceptable levels of nitrosamines, which are cancer-causing chemicals.

If you were injured by Teva Pharmaceuticals’ prazosin, you may have grounds to file a claim. While there are other generic versions, the only one known to be contaminated is the one made by Teva. You can identify it if the bottle says MFG Teva or MFR Teva. Similarly, the prescription label may say 0093.

If you were injured by prazosin, call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability attorneys of Moll Law Group. Read more here.
