The litigation

What is the Bard PowerPort lawsuit?

Thousands of patients are suing C.R. Bard and Becton Dickinson, alleging that PowerPort implantable port-catheters were made with a polyurethane material that degrades in the body, causing catheters to fracture, migrate into the bloodstream, pierce organs, or trigger dangerous clots and infections. Plaintiffs allege the manufacturer knew of these risks and failed to warn patients and doctors.

The claims have been consolidated in a federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, where tens of thousands of plaintiffs have filed. Courts are actively accepting new cases.

Eligible claimants may pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, for families who lost a loved one, wrongful death damages. Every case is evaluated individually.

Questions, answered

Bard PowerPort lawsuit FAQ

Who qualifies for the Bard PowerPort lawsuit?
Patients who had an implantable port-catheter placed fully under the skin and suffered serious complications after 2013: catheter fracture or migration, bloodstream infection or sepsis, blood clots, embolism, tissue death, or port erosion, particularly where the device had to be removed. A free case review confirms eligibility for your specific situation.
How do I know if my port was a Bard PowerPort?
Many patients don’t know the brand of their device. Your surgical or hospital records identify the manufacturer and model, and the attorney handling your claim can help obtain them. Not knowing the brand should never stop you from requesting a review.
How much does it cost to file a claim?
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in our network work on contingency, meaning they are only paid if your case results in compensation. The review itself is free and carries no obligation.
Is there a deadline to file?
Yes. Statutes of limitation vary by state and circumstance, and waiting can forfeit your right to file. With the MDL actively accepting cases, speaking with an attorney promptly is the only way to know the deadline that applies to you.
