Can I file a lawsuit for harm caused by defective products used during medical procedures? Yes, you could have the right to file a lawsuit. In general, the right to sue is based on the concept of product liability. Under product liability, all product manufacturers have a duty to ensure that their products are safe and free of any hazards, including hazards in design, manufacturing, and labeling. When product manufacturers fail to identify and address the defects/hazards present in their products, then they can be liable for any harm that occurs as a result. Usually, the product manufacturer – in this case, 3M – would be the only party liable for resulting harm.

However, it is important to note that doctors and hospitals can sometimes share liability when it comes to defective medical products. More specifically, if a doctor/hospital continues to use a product that is known to be defective or cause issues, then they could also be liable for resulting harm.

If you or a member of your family suffered harm because of defective 3M temperature regulating medical products, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. You could have the right to sue and recover compensation for medical costs, lost pay, pain and suffering, wrongful death benefits, and more.

If you are wondering what to do if you or a loved one is harmed, consider some of the following suggestions:

• Seek medical care as soon as possible – if you were harmed by your medical team, do not be afraid to seek the expertise of another medical team
• Report the injuries to the doctor/hospital where the incident occurred
• Report the injuries to the product manufacturer – never agree to any remedy offered
• Gather all relevant medical records
• Seek legal help with an experienced recall lawyer or product liability lawyer as soon as possible
