BioZorb is a medical device that was used to mark the tumor bed after a lumpectomy for breast cancer. It was marketed as a temporary device that would dissolve in the body within 12 months. However, many patients have experienced problems with BioZorb, including:
- The device not dissolving as expected, leading to pain, scarring, and other complications.
- The device migrating or being expelled from the body.
- The device requiring additional surgery to remove.
As a result, there have been a number of lawsuits filed against the manufacturer of BioZorb, Hologic. These lawsuits allege that Hologic failed to adequately warn patients of the risks associated with the device.
In 2021, Hologic agreed to pay $125 million to settle a class action lawsuit filed by patients who had experienced problems with BioZorb. The settlement also requires Hologic to change the way it markets and distributes the device.
There are still other lawsuits pending against Hologic related to BioZorb. These lawsuits are still ongoing, and it is not yet clear how they will be resolved.
If you have experienced problems with BioZorb, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against Hologic. It is important to speak with an attorney to discuss your legal options.
