Approximately 71,498 Bard Marquee Disposable Core Biopsy Instrument Kits are being recalled because the needles may not be properly secured inside the device. This is due to a manufacturing defect where a retention notch is missing, which could cause the needle to detach or become misplaced during medical procedures. While no injuries or incidents have been reported to date, this defect could cause serious complications during use.
If the needle detaches from the instrument, it can be misplaced within a patient's body, which could result in internal tissue damage and bleeding.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
