Losing a loved one can be devastating. Finding out that the death was caused by a dangerous or defective medical product can make things even worse. This has been the case for several families across America that has lost a loved one due to cardiac arrest or heart attack while undergoing dialysis.
Do You Need a GranuFlo Lawyer?
The product in question is GranuFlo which is manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care. GranuFlo is an acidic concentrate that is used in conjunction with dialysate during dialysis. While the mixture on its own is considered safe, when mixed with dialysate it can come with serious health risks that can result in fatality. These include:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Cardiac arrest
If you have experienced the loss of a loved one due to GranuFlo heart attack or cardiac arrest, then you may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the manufacturers. Many families have already filed GranuFlo wrongful death lawsuit and received compensation for their losses.
Families File Wrongful Death Lawsuits Against Fresenius
The manufacturers of GranuFlo are Fresenius Medical Care, one of the leading names in dialysis products. Thousands of clinics have trusted Fresenius and have used GranuFlo. It was only in 2012 that the FDA recalled the product after finding out that GranuFlo can cause death. Because of this new information, families that have lost a loved one when taking GranuFlo may be eligible to file a GranuFlo wrongful death lawsuit.
The reason is because it has been leaked that Fresenius actually knew about the dangers and potentially fatal side effects of their product since they performed studies in 2010. The conclusive evidence came back with patients at a much greater risk than initially expected. In fact, nearly 1000 patients in the test were at elevated levels of cardiac activity and at a much higher risk of cardiac arrest.
Fresenius failed to mention this to anyone other than their own team of doctors. During this time many have died while using GranuFlo and many people want answers. You are legally entitled to know what went wrong and why you were not informed.
Filing a lawsuit against Fresenius Medical Care will not prevent the situation from happening and it will not bring back your loved one. However, it can help pay for unexpected costs and losses including:
- A loss of income and projected income
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills
- Emotional suffering
- Therapy
- And more
