How We Can Help
Drugs and medical devices must gain approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to be sold in the U.S. However, approval does not guarantee a drug or medical device is safe. In fact, a defect in the product, incomplete labeling, or insufficient warnings can cause physical, psychological, or emotional injury. The manufacturer, not the FDA, is responsible for ensuring that its label is updated to protect the public safety.Weitz & Luxenberg is committed to holding drug and device makers and marketers accountable for the harm they cause. For nearly 40 years, we have strived to help innocent victims harmed by defective drugs and defective medical devices obtain the justice that they deserve.
