What Is Considered a Defective Drug or Medical Device?

A defective drug or medical device is one that causes harm due to a flaw in its design, manufacturing, or labeling. These defects can lead to severe injuries or even death. Product defects typically fall into three main categories:

1. Defective Design: The drug or medical device has a fundamental flaw in its design that makes it unsafe for its intended use. For example, certain pain medications that increase the risk of internal bleeding or a medical implant that is prone to breaking apart inside the body.
2. Defective Manufacturing: The product may have a safe design but becomes dangerous due to errors during the manufacturing process. This could include contamination, incorrect assembly, or missing components. For instance, if a batch of medication is tainted during production, it can be harmful when consumed.
3. Defective Labeling: This occurs when the drug or device lacks proper instructions, safety warnings, or potential side effects on its label. It can also involve marketing a product for an unapproved use. For example, a medication marketed to pregnant women that poses a known risk of birth defects can be considered a labeling defect.

When any of these defects occur, they can cause serious harm to patients who rely on these products for their health and well-being.
