			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FDA notified healthcare professionals and consumers that it has ordered Baxter to recall and destroy all of its Colleague Volumetric Infusion Pumps (Colleague pumps) currently in use. This action is based on a longstanding failure to correct many serious problems with the pumps. The FDA believes there may be as many as 200,000 of those pumps currently in use. FDA is ordering Baxter to recall and destroy all Colleague infusion pumps, reimburse customers for the value of the recalled device, and assist in finding a replacement for these customers. Hospitals and other users of Baxter’s Colleague pumps will be receiving further instruction and information from Baxter and the FDA regarding their transition.</p>

<p>In October 2008, the FDA issued a public health notification alerting healthcare providers and the public to the increasing number of serious health issues associated with the <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-device/transvaginal-meshsling-devices/" target="_self">transvaginal mesh</a>. Complications reported to the FDA include meshes from nine different manufacturers. <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-device/transvaginal-meshsling-devices/" target="_self">Transvaginal meshes </a>are implanted through surgery. According to the FDA, contributing factors to complications potentially include the patient’s health, mesh material, the size and shape of the mesh, surgical procedures and estrogen levels.</p>
<p>Ed Wallis is a Memphis, Tennessee <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-malpractice/" target="_self">medical malpractice attorney </a>that has advised he is offering free case evaluations across the country to those who may have received a <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-device/transvaginal-meshsling-devices/" target="_self">transvaginal mesh </a>device after October 2008 and are suffering from complications. Doctors should have explained to patients that there were serious risks associated with the implantation of a <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-device/transvaginal-meshsling-devices/" target="_self">transvaginal mesh sling</a>. To not advise patients of these risks is tantamount to keeping the risks a secret from the patient.</p>
<p>Therefore, if you live in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas or elsewhere, and have sustained difficulties with your <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-device/transvaginal-meshsling-devices/" target="_self">transvaginal mesh </a>device, please do not delay in contacting Ed Wallis today, as you may be entitled to monetary compensation for <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-malpractice/" target="_self">medical malpractice</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-malpractice/" target="_self">Medical malpractice </a>is a complex area of the law, and you should immediately contact an attorney willing to provide detailed and thorough review of your case for you. Do not be fooled by the gimics of a quick check from a television ad; for a <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-malpractice/" target="_self">medical malpractice case</a> or a <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/lasik-litigation/" target="_self">LASIK malpractice case</a>, you need a serious attorney who will work seriously on your behalf.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Denture cream containing zinc may have caused your nerve damage.</strong></p>
<p>Attorneys <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/about/about-the-authors/" target="_blank">Tim Edwards and Ed Wallis </a>are providing free case evaluations for those affected by zinc poisoning from denture cream products such as Fixodent and PoliGrip.  Hundreds of people are suing consumer products giants Procter &amp; Gamble Co., which makes Fixodent, and GlaxoSmithKline, maker of PoliGrip, the Associated Press reported in an article on September 18, 2009.</p>
<p>Lawsuits currently filed claim the denture cream products are defective, that the companies failed to adequately warn people about the potential dangers and that no corrective steps were taken.  In fact, on June 4, 2008, <a href="http://www.neurology.org/cgi/content/abstract/71/9/639" target="_blank">the medical journal Neurology published a study </a>about a possible link between denture cream zinc and nerve damage. The study was conducted by doctors at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. The research involved four patients who all used large amounts of denture cream and developed nerve-related disorders.Additionally, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18525032" target="_blank">the National Institutes of Health has warned </a>consumers that too much zinc can purge the body of copper, and a copper deficiency can cause nerve damage.</p>
<p>Nerve damage may cause symptoms such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>weakness and numbness in arms and legs;</li>
<li>difficulty walking and loss of balance, and</li>
<li>cognitive or memory impairment.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you have developed nerve damage after the use of denture cream products such as Fixodent and PoliGrip, please call us as soon as possible. Let us put our experience and expertise to work for you. We are currently helping others who have received a defective <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/cochlear/" target="_self">Advanced Bionics cochlear implant</a>, <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/medical-device/transvaginal-meshsling-devices/" target="_blank">Transvaginal mesh/sling devices</a>, or took prescription drugs such as <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/pharmaceutical/trasylol/" target="_blank">Trasylol</a>, <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/pharmaceutical/chantix/" target="_blank">Chantix</a>, <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/pharmaceutical/digitek/" target="_blank">Digitek</a>, <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/pharmaceutical/byetta/" target="_blank">Byetta</a>, <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/pharmaceutical/ortho-evra/" target="_self">Ortho Evra</a>, <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/pharmaceutical/seroquel/" target="_blank">Seroquel</a>, <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/2009/10/23/reglan/" target="_blank">Reglan</a>, and <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/practice/pharmaceutical/yaz/" target="_blank">Yaz/Yasmin</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Medical Device Safety Act of 2009 is meant to reverse legislatively the Supreme Court&#8217;s pro-preemption decision in Riegel v. Medtronic. The Riegel decision has prevented real men, women and children from seeking damages from medical device companies. In a sense, medical device companies now get a free pass in the world of lawsuits for injuries caused by FDA-approved devices.</p>
<p>Nevermind that whole &#8220;the manufacturer is responsible for making a safe and effective product, not the FDA&#8221; thing.</p>
<p>Here is a video (which I will throw one up weekly) to show you the real effects of Riegel:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Attorneys Tim Edwards and Ed Wallis are currently offering to the general public free case evaluations for those recipients of transvaginal mesh/sling products who have suffered from complications, including:</p>

<p><strong>Reports of Transvaginal Mesh Complications</strong></p>
<p>Since 2005, <em>more than 1,000 patients have suffered from serious complications from the placement of a transvaginal mesh device</em>. The transvaginal mesh is a type of medical device used to treat Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), conditions that may occur after childbirth and pregnancy. If you or someone you loved has been injured, you have the legal right to pursue monetary compensation in a court of law.</p>
<p>In October 2008, the FDA issued a public health notification alerting healthcare providers and the public to the increasing number of serious health issues associated with the transvaginal mesh. Complications reported to the FDA include meshes from nine different manufacturers. Transvaginal meshes are implanted through surgery. According to the FDA, contributing factors to complications potentially include the patient’s health, mesh material, the size and shape of the mesh, surgical procedures and estrogen levels.</p>
<p>You can read the FDA Notice by clicking [<a href="http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm079028.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a>].</p>

<p><strong>Manufacturers</strong></p>
<p>Defective transvaginal mesh products are designed and manufactured by a number of companies under a wide array of trade names.  Manufacturers of transvaginal mesh products include:</p>
<ul>
<li>American Medical Systems</li>
<li>Bard</li>
<li>Boston Scientific</li>
<li>Ethicon</li>
<li>Gynecare</li>
<li>Johnson &amp; Johnson</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Damages</strong></p>
<p>If you or a loved one has been injured, recovery is possible for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income (past and future), and more. Please call today to speak to Tim Edwards or Ed Wallis at 901.527.2125 for more information.</p>
<p><strong>No Recovery, No Fee</strong></p>
<p>Generally speaking, we take cases on a contingent basis. That means that there is generally no cost to you unless we are able to recover a settlement or judgment on your behalf. So, unless your case is resolved by trial, arbitration, settlement, or other resolution, you generally do not have to pay any attorney fees to us, or pay any costs. Litigation costs include filing fees, court reporter fees for deposition, copying costs, experts, and travel. Litigation costs are paid by our firm so you don’t have to have cash to pursue justice against Advanced Bionics. If there is a recovery, we are reimbursed our fronting of litigation costs out of any damages you are awarded. So, in a sense, you do not need cash up front to hire us as your lawyer to pursue a claim for personal injuries, emotional injuries, lost business or property damage.</p>
<p> <strong>About us</strong></p>
<p>Mr. Edwards and Mr. Wallis are currently representing injured children and adults on an international level for a failed medical device.  Both have failed lawsuits and appeared in courts around the country to protect the rights of the injured.</p>
<p>You can read more about us in the <a href="http://www.midsouthtriallawyer.com/about/about-the-authors/" target="_blank">ABOUT US </a>section of this website, and please contact us today for a free case evaluation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Federal prosecutors on Tuesday indicted a medical device maker and four of its executives on charges that they illegally tested and promoted a bone filler for unapproved uses. According to the indictment, Synthes Inc. pursued unapproved trials for its Norian XR product and promoted it aggressively among select doctors. It is unusual for federal prosecutors, who typically favor civil actions in such cases, to pursue criminal charges against corporate executives. [<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/17/business/17device.html?_r=2&amp;ref=health" target="_blank">The New York Times</a>]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MEMPHIS, TN &#8212; Attorneys Tim Edwards and Ed Wallis are announcing that the deaths of five users of a small mechanical heart pump have prompted the manufacturer to recall the device. According to device maker Thoratec Corp., wear on an electrical wire in the implant may cause the devices to fail. The recall applies to heart pumps distributed to 153 hospitals and other locations since 2003.</p>
<p>The recall affects devices with catalog numbers 1355 and 102139.</p>
<p>The FDA has urged patients with the Heartmate II to contact their doctors to have the device checked. Surgery to have the faulty medical device replaced will be an option for some however for those who are not good candidates for re-surgery the device will be allowed to fail resulting in the death of the patient.</p>
<p>Mr. Edwards and Mr. Wallis represent injured persons who have been implanted with dangerous and defective medical devices. They are prepared to offer a free case evaluation to you today. If you have a recalled device, please see your medical provider immediately. If you or a loved one have sustained injuries from a recalled Heartmate II device, or wish to discuss your rights for a lawsuit against Thoratec Corp., please contact us today by calling Tim Edwards and Ed Wallis at (901) 527-4673, or via e-mail by clicking <a href="mailto:ewallis@gewwlaw.com" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>
