Please join me in fighting for our rights as patients and stop giving federal protection to these manufacturers who are killing us and harming us. Ask your Rep to support this. I am going for surgery as soon as possible so I can begin my path to healing and living again after 19 years of mysterious illnesses and getting diagnosed with a wide variety of things and harm caused by years of antibiotics, when all along my body was rejecting. What does this mean? It means that patients who are harmed by Class III medical devices have a very difficult, if not impossible, time pursuing litigation if injured, disabled, or killed by a Class III medical device. The manufacturers are, in essence, protected. Most Class III cases get thrown out on the grounds of Federal Preemption.
The purpose of this bill is to restore a patient’s right to litigation should he/she be harmed by a Class III medical device. Even decades after the FDA’s pre market approval of a Class III device, if it is proven to be ineffective or proven to cause harm, individuals still cannot hold the manufacturer liable for injury, even in the case of a recall.
We are asking for your support of The Medical Device Safety Act 2017, H.R.2164, as our representatives. Please consider co sponsoring in the House, or introducing/sponsoring in the Senate! We are tens of thousands of consumers who have been harmed by, disabled by, or lost a loved one to a Class III medical device. We all deserve the same rights as consumers. Help restore our rights by supporting this bill! Thank you. https://www.petition2congress.com/ctas/the-medical-device-safety-act-hr-2164?fbclid=IwAR312HLmt5EEafUYh49ZgyRVq2Q-5oePXNJ1L0y4z25Mvhn7UpNaxpc21hw
