Human Tissue Recall Lawyers

According to an FDA report, victims of unsafe Tainted Tissue and contaminated bone transplants may have had tainted tissue implants as far back as 2004. Hospitals nationwide received illegally harvested and potentially dangerous tissue. Recalls have been issued by the following tissue processing firms:

• LifeCell Corp.
• Branchburg, NJ;
• Lost Mountain Tissue Bank, Kennesaw, GA;
• Blood and Tissue Center of Central Texas, Austin;
• Tutogen Medical, Inc., Alachua, FL;
• Regeneration Technologies, Inc., also of Alachua.

Tainted tissue parts included in the recall were distributed between October 2003 and September 2005 and include human bone, skin, and tendons.

We believe the problem extends beyond what has been included in these recalls. Therefore, ANYONE who has received a tissue transplant or bone graft and has been inexplicably diagnosed with Hepatitis, HIV, Syphilis or other infectious diseases should contact our lawyers at the Law Offices of Nadrich & Cohen in order to protect their legal rights and take the necessary steps to protect their legal rights.

Viruses shown to be contracted by tainted tissue include the following:

1. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV): HBV often can present with flu-like complaints in the initial phase, then possibly go on to a symptom-free carrier (dormant) state. The degree of clinical symptoms of HBV infection varies in both acute (early) and chronic (late) disease. The chronic phase can progress to cirrhosis (scarring) and liver cancer.

2. Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): With HCV the early process is most often without symptoms. Acute HCV typically leads to chronic infection; 60-80 percent of cases develop chronic hepatitis (abnormal liver enzymes). Chronic HCV is usually slowly progressive. Approximately 20 to 30 percent of the chronically infected individuals develop cirrhosis over a 20-30 year period. Chronic HCV is the most common cause of chronic liver disease and the most frequent indication for liver transplantation in the United States.

Both viruses can be detected by blood tests. Therefore, have a blood test taken.

The same can be said for the AIDS - HIV virus. Testing at intervals and long term observation is required. Syphilis screening should also be completed.

We know that ongoing testing and increased uncertainty poses serious psychological damage for all transplant patients. Even if they are never diagnosed with a virus patients should never receive unapproved, untested and unauthorized human tissue.

We are already representing victims of this tragedy.
