Silzone Heart Valve MDL

Cohen Milstein is currently seeking nationwide medical monitoring on behalf of  class of approximately 10,500 individuals implanted with silver-coated mechanical heart valves (known as Silzone® valves) manufactured by St. Jude Medical, Inc. as a member of the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in In re St. Jude Medical, Inc., Silzone Heart Valves Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 1396.  In January 2000, St. Jude removed the Silzone® valve from the market for safety reasons after it was implicated in reports of serious and sometimes life-threatening adverse events, including paravalvular leaks, thromboembolic events, and explants.
