CHICAGO PRODUCTS LIABILITY ATTORNEY SUPPORTS MEDICAL DEVICE SAFETY LAW
The Medical Device Safety Act, HR 1346/S 540, restores the law that was in effect prior to February of 2008 when the U.S. Supreme Court decided that the FDA's approval of a medical device warrants immunity for medical device manufacturers. The Supreme Court's decision means that medical device manufacturers are not fully held accountable for producing dangerous and defective products.
I have previously blogged about my concerns over immunity for big business. Immunity removes the right to fully compensate tort victims and it removes the checks and balances system that the civil justice system creates.
