A recall was announced in November by the makers of the Octopus Nuvo Tissue Stabilizer following the discovery of the damage it could cause to patients. The device was meant to stabilize tissue during certain procedures but because of its likelihood of breaking during surgery, the Food and Drug Administration officials have stated that "there is a reasonable probability" that the stabilizer could cause serious harm or even death and led it to become a Class I recall.

Very few situations can cause more anxiety than going into surgery and what makes it even worse is the possibility of death. Hearing about recalls like these, especially with medical instruments, can cause you more stress than should be necessary. Not only are manufacturers obligated and required to make sure products are safe before they are sold, but you have placed your trust with your doctor that is now broken. Overcoming a situation like this won't be easy. Although a financial reward may not help you completely recover, it will help you recover from any physical injuries you have suffered.  

Product liabilities arise when a manufacturer fails to put labels that clearly state the correct way to use the product or designed the product poorly. Oftentimes, these are defects that could have been prevented but because companies fail to take these precautions, several unnecessary injuries occur. Fortunately for consumers and victims like the one involved with the Octopus Tissue Stabilizer, product liability law exists. A defective product attorney familiar with these laws can help you receive the compensation you deserve for suffering from the company's negligence.
