They allege that due to the catheters on the devices breaking, they suffered blood clots, infections, chest pain, and other life-threatening complications; many of them needed to undergo emergency surgeries to extract pieces of catheter. If you or a loved one suffered harm as a result of a Bard Power Port device, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based attorneys of Moll Law Group about your potential claim. Billions have been recovered in product liability lawsuits around the country with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Moll Law Group About Your Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Panel determined that the lawsuits involved common questions of fact and that just and efficient litigation would be promoted by centralizing the case in the District of Arizona. They found that the common factual questions involve allegations that there is too great a concentration of barium sulfate used during the manufacturing of the catheter in the port devices.<\/p>\n<p>This concentration, purportedly, reduces the catheter\u2019s material integrity, which can in turn result in fracture or migration of the catheter, infection, and thrombosis. The multidistrict litigation will be looking at whether the design of the Bard port catheters requires too high a concentration of barium sulfate, as well as whether the defendant\u2019s tested the devices sufficiently and whether they appropriately monitored and reported adverse events related to product failures.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/eight-bard-lawsuits-have-been-centralized-in-the-western-district-of-missouri\/#more-3120\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bard&#8217;s PowerPort devices are implanted under the skin and pump intravenous chemotherapy and other fluid into a patient\u2019s bloodstream.
