Thomas J. Henry is representing U.S. service members and veterans nationwide who have developed hearing loss and tinnitus because of defective combat earplugs manufactured by 3M and Aearo Technologies. The defective military earplugs were issued from 2003 to 2015 to troops deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, and the Indian Ocean and were also used during training.

Clinical trials are controlled studies, conducted under FDA regulations, to test the efficacy and effects of new drugs, medical devices, or procedures before they are released for clinical use. While most trials are carried out ethically, with patient safety in mind, even the most well-intentioned trials may result in serious side effects, patient injury, and even death. These damages may be the result of negligence, malpractice, patient confusion, or the intentional withholding of information.

As a patient or consumer, you should be able to trust the medical devices your doctors and other medical staff are using or implanting into your body. Unfortunately, medical devices have caused thousands of patients additional pain and suffering, more surgeries, and sometimes death. Many medical devices require complex and invasive surgeries that pose a significant risk of permanent or fatal injury. When a device fails, moves, or otherwise starts to harm a patient instead of help, additional procedures may be required to fix or remove the device.

When a consumer product turns out to be dangerous and causes serious injury or illness, there may be grounds for a product liability claim. Every year, thousands of defective and unsafe products are removed from the market with a recall.

Unfortunately, many defective products are only found after multiples injuries have been reported.

Manufacturing defects in vehicles can lead to catastrophic accidents, often resulting in serious injury or death. Thomas J. Henry is a leader in vehicle recall litigation.
