Faulty medical devices could cause harm to a number of people.

Depending on the severity of the issue, these devices may be classified as Class I (low risk), Class II (intermediate risk), or Class III (highly critical/life-sustaining).

These are only some of the reasons you should seek legal representation from a dangerous drug attorney whenever you can.
