Patients Harmed by Contaminated Shelhigh Devices May Fight Back with a Shelhigh Lawsuit


Weitz and Luxenberg is no longer accepting Shelhigh cases.

In April 2007, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigators and U.S. Marshals seized all implantable medical devices from Shelhigh, Inc., Union, N.J., after finding significant deficiencies in the company's manufacturing processes. Patients who were injured by tainted devices made at that plant are currently speaking with our Drug and Medical Device attorneys about possible Shelhigh lawsuits.

The unsanitary conditions at the Shelhigh plant were found to have compromised the safety and effectiveness of the products, particularly their sterility.

Critically ill patients, pediatric patients and immuno-compromised patients may be at greatest risk from the use of these Shelhigh devices.

The Shelhigh products include pediatric heart valves and conduits (tube-like devices for blood flow), surgical patches, dural patches (to aid in tissue recovery after neurosurgery), annuloplasty rings (to help repair heart valves) and arterial grafts. The tissue-based Shelhigh devices are used in many surgical settings, including open heart surgery in adults, children and infants, and to repair soft tissue during neurosurgery and abdominal, pelvic and thoracic surgery.

If you were implanted with one of these Shelhigh devices and experienced an injury, our legal team may be able to assist you with a Shelhigh lawsuit. Please complete the form below for a free legal review of your potential Shelhigh lawsuit. A representative of our firm will be in touch as soon as possible.
