After the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) informed patients of the potential risk of serious complications from using BioZorb Marker and BioZorb LP Marker devices, Phillips Law Group is investigating and pursuing BioZorb Lawsuits. If you or a loved one was injured after the use of a BioZorb medical device, please contact our firm without delay to discuss your legal options.
According to the FDA, “The BioZorb Marker made by Hologic (previously Focal Therapeutics), is an implantable radiographic marker used to mark soft tissue (such as breast tissue) for future medical procedures, such as radiation.”
Unfortunately, the BioZorb Marker was recalled as a result of complications and reported with the implanted devices. The implants were supposed to dissolve into the patient’s body within 12 months after implantation, but for many, the device did not dissolve at all, leading to discomfort, pain, and suffering.
By the end of May, the FDA had reported a total of 71 reported injuries and no reports of death. But it’s possible the number of injuries related to adverse health events from the use of a BioZorb device could be much higher.
Some of the reported BioZorb implant side effects include:
Pursuing a BioZorb lawsuit can potentially help you secure compensation including:
In May 2024, the FDA reported that the agency had “classified the actions of Hologic notifying customers of the risks associated with BioZorb Marker and BioZorb LP Marker devices as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall.”
On March 13, 2024, Hologic, Inc. sent all impacted customers an Important Medical Device Safety Notification that requested patients get in touch with their healthcare provider if they experience any negative events following the placement of a BioZorb Marker and report any problems or complications encountered following the placement of BioZorb Marker devices to Hologic, as well as the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program.
According to the FDA’s medical device recall announcement about BioZorb Markers, individuals who may be impacted by the recall include:
Sadly, many patients who trusted the advice of their medical professionals and agreed to the use of BioZorb Markers may have actually prolonged their treatment and faced additional health challenges and pain from using the devices. If you or a loved one suffered after the implantation of a BioZorb device, you may have legal options and be able to pursue financial compensation for your suffering.
If Hologic failed to properly warn victims of BioZorb’s risks, the company should be held accountable, and affected patients may be entitled to legal representation and potential financial reimbursement. The team at Phillips Law Group may be able to help.
