Multi Party Actions
I would recommend Alexander Harris because they provide a very good service.

GYNECARE INTERGEL Adhesion Prevention Solution
Gynecare Intergel Adhesion Prevention Solution is a gel product that is used in some gynaecological surgery to reduce post-surgical adhesions. Adhesions are abnormal bands of scar tissue that develop following operations and that can connect organs or tissues that should be normally be separate. Once adhesions develop, the only way to remove them is to have another surgical procedure called adhesiolysis. Adhesions or internal scarring is a post-surgery complication that can cause chronic pelvic pain, infertility and small bowel obstruction.

Many of these women were suffering from further health problems as a result of their silicone implants, which had hardened and in some cases even ruptured necessitating removal and additional corrective surgery...
Shiley Heart Valves
These Valves were prone to fracture inside the heart and as a result many patients fitted with the faulty valves had died.

Azathioprine (Imuran)
We are investigating links between the ill health suffered by some workers at a pharmaceutical company and exposure to the drug Azathioprine/Imuran. Many of those who have contacted us have been exposed to this drug on the packing line either through handling the tablets or from residue left behind from production processes. It is believed that the drug can cause illness in those handling it and that protective coatings are less then effective when the tablets become chipped or broken and dust is released.
Hepatitis C Virus
We settled 6 cases involving clients who were infected with the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) when they received blood transfusions, blood products or transplanted organs which were infected with HCV.
