Defective Products
What you can do
Those who manufacture or supply medical products have clear responsibilities to patients. When those responsibilities are neglected, defective medical equipment or inappropriate medication can have a devastating impact on the lives of patients and their families. If an injury or illness has occurred because of a product used in treatment a claim can be made under the Consumer Protection ( NI ) Order 1987.
