Bard PowerPort Lawsuit
Were you injured after receiving an implantable port? You are not alone — federal lawsuits over Bard PowerPort and AngioDynamics devices are advancing nationwide.
What You Need to Know
Implantable ports are placed during critical medical treatment. Patients rely on these devices to safely deliver chemotherapy, IV therapy, nutrition, blood products, and contrast imaging. When serious complications occur, the impact can be overwhelming.
Becton Dickinson (Bard PowerPort) and AngioDynamics have issued FDA Class II recalls involving certain implantable port products. Federal lawsuits involving these devices are advancing nationwide.
If you have experienced infection, blood clots, catheter fracture or migration, or required device removal after receiving one of these ports, you may wish to explore your legal options.
You May Qualify If
- A Bard PowerPort or AngioDynamics device was implanted
- A serious complication occurred
- Additional treatment, revision, or removal was required
- The injury resulted in measurable harm
Each case requires careful review of medical records and device identification details.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Bard PowerPort and AngioDynamics Catheter Lawsuits
Are you still unsure about whether the Bard PowerPort or AngioDynamics lawsuits might be something that you should join? Do you have more questions about the facts of the case? Get answers to some of the most frequently asked questions below.
Did Bard and AngioDynamics Know About The Product Defects?
We can only speculate as to how much Bard knew about the defects. Based on information in the lawsuit, plaintiffs argue that companies should have reasonably known about some of the defects being reported through the FDA. Complaints were being made regarding the catheter’s defective tubing, breaking, and more
Is There a Class Action Lawsuit?
Currently, there is multidistrict litigation against Bard, which is a bit different than a class action lawsuit as it consolidates multiple, individual lawsuits. The ongoing case is based in Arizona under Judge David G. Campbell. There is also multidistrict litigation against AngioDynamics.
How Much Does an Implantable Port Attorney Cost?
One of the best parts of hiring a lawyer who works for Constant Legal Group is that we operate on a contingency fee basis.
A contingency fee payment arrangement means that you won’t have to pay your attorney at all unless you ultimately win your case. At that point, you’ll pay your attorney an agreed-upon percentage of your overall settlement award.
Other law firms may request to get paid upfront, hourly, weekly, or even based on how complex your case is. Always inquire about the payment schedule before hiring a firm so you know what to expect moving forward.
