Defective medical devices jeopardize patient safety by introducing a myriad of serious complications, ranging from adverse health effects to the need for extensive medical interventions. Examples include, IUDs, hernia mesh, and contaminated drugs.

Employment Overtime Claims

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulates the rate of pay for all hours worked beyond 40 hours per week. Employers may attempt to avoid this obligation by misclassifying an employee or having them work off the clock.

Lung Cancer

The primary cause of US cancer deaths is lung cancer, with around 235,000 new cases and 130,000 deaths annually, as reported by the American Cancer Society. Lung cancer is correlated with exposure to asbestos.

Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma, an uncommon and highly aggressive cancer, originates in the mesothelium, the protective lining of lungs, abdomen, and thoracic organs. Asbestos fibers, lying dormant for years, can lead to mesothelioma development after decades of exposure.

Toxic Chemical Hair Relaxer

Hair relaxers, containing toxic chemicals like sodium hydroxide, can lead to health issues by being absorbed through the scalp. These relaxers, designed to alter curly hair, may cause skin burns, facilitating toxin absorption. DEHP, another harmful chemical in relaxers, adds to their toxicity.
