Plaintiffs have also claimed that the manufacturers, Janssen (part of Johnson & Johnson) and Bayer, failed to conduct the proper tests, did not warn consumers of the risks of uncontrollable bleeding, were negligent in the marketing and manufacturing of the drug, concealed evidence of the risks of Xarelto from the government and from consumers, misrepresented the safety of the drug in marketing materials, and wrongly promoted the drug as not requiring patient monitoring.

WHAT ARE IVC FILTERS? HOW ARE THEY DEFECTIVE?

IVC filters are small devices implanted in the vena cava to intercept blood clots on the way to the heart or lungs. While intended to be a non-pharmaceutical solution for those at risk of blood clots, many of these filters have proven defective. These spindly, metal devices have been shown to detach, migrate, break apart, and puncture veins. To make matters worse, in some situations, the filter may become impossible to recover.
